A nEw York loft - 2016
In the confines of a New York City loft,
a captivating character-driven drama unfolds,
centering around the elusive interview
of a subversive writer.
As the writer and reporter engage in a delicate dance,
their motives intertwine, promising potential gains
but also endangering their very existence.
Will the "sexy mouse" manipulate the "charismatic cat"
for an effortless victory,
or will fate intervene, threatening to shatter
their precarious balance on the See-Saw of life?
-
It’s an election year.
-
Independent investigative journalist ANDREAS BAINES (30’s) is commissioned by the editor of a “Guardian” like newspaper to team up with ex-war veteran JOHN SHAMUS to conduct an interview of subversive writer JEFFREY CURTIS, and find out about his sources.
-
The release of his next book threatens to reveal inconvenient secrets naming political elites, not unlike the wikileaks ordeal.
-
Posing as a regular columnist at an internet based paper, Andrea is sent to Curtis’ loft, where they immediately begin to try to outwit each other’s minds.
-
As the interview progresses things quickly spin out of control. It’s soon pretty clear Curtis is conducting the whole interview as Shamus watches from the building across the street, with his gun aimed at Curtis.
-
As a morbid ballet of innuendos starts to unfold, the interview reaches a point of no return.
-
Andrea’s impression of the writer is blurred, as the real reason why she's there begins to dawn on her. The unexpected ending ends up with the focus on GLORIA BAINES (60’s), Andrea’s mother, a soon to be elected US governor, and her shady past.
