Comedy
The Breakup Band Aid
Tagline: “Because getting over him shouldn't be harder than rehab.”
Hook Sentence:
A quirky therapist invents a 12-step program for broken hearts—but when her own marriage explodes, she becomes the ultimate test subject.
The Setup:
Sophia thought she had it all together—a doctorate on the horizon, a man she loved, and a sister who was finally (sort of) stable. But when a failed dissertation, a cheating husband, and a surprise Greyhound invasion hit in rapid-fire succession, her perfectly planned life collapses into chaos.
The Pull:
Now forced to prove her heartbreak recovery program actually works, Sophia rounds up an unhinged mix of exaholics—including her sister, a red flag Barbie, and an emotional squatter—to prove healing is possible. But the line between coach and patient starts to blur, especially when the real twist hits… and she’s the one spiraling.
The Vibe:
Think Bridesmaids meets Girl, Interrupted — complete with sisterly sabotage, somewhat AA-style breakup meetings, and one very unfortunate Target incident.
The Yard Sailors
Hook Sentence:
Desperate to save her home from foreclosure, a fed-up single mom hosts a garage sale that spirals into a three-day neighborhood circus.
The Setup:
Lou Pinsky never expected her future to include eviction notices, teenage sass, and a full-blown turf war with the queen of Christian yard sales. But when financial ruin looms, she teams up with her overdramatic mother and a shopaholic best friend to host the ultimate suburban garage sale—with zero permits, mounting secrets, and a parrot-loving neighbor who might be the answer to more than just landscaping problems.
The Pull:
Between petty theft, cheerleader showdowns, marital breakdowns, and rogue “College Hunks Hauling Junk,” this weekend sale becomes an accidental rebellion against debt, judgment, and small-town pettiness. But when thousands in cash vanish, the only thing more chaotic than the sale… is the fallout.
The Vibe:
Think The Heat meets Bad Moms meets Grace & Frankie, with a splash of Midwest absurdity and one very unfortunate Louis Vuitton takedown.
Final Line:
Bargains are temporary. Karma is a bitch in stilettos.
Donor 00718
Tagline: “He wanted a baby. He got a breakdown.”
Hook Sentence:
After a midlife crisis hits harder than a paternity test on Maury, one man skips the marriage—and skips straight to the baby.
The Setup:
Michael Mahoney is a charming, emotionally imploding, almost-fifty professor who just got dumped for wanting kids. With a crumbling career, a jaded family, and friends who are more roast than support, he hatches a plan: become a single dad. But not just any dad—a dad via donor egg, surrogacy, and an agreement with his ride-or-die best friend.
The Pull:
What starts as a “progressive parenting plan” spirals into surveillance missions, accidental stalking, and a growing obsession with the donor he swore he’d never meet. The line between science and sabotage blurs, and when secrets unravel, so does everything he thought he wanted.
The Vibe:
Think Knocked Up meets Barry, with the emotional honesty of About a Boy and the unfiltered chaos of a fertility clinic staffed by sociopaths.
Final Line:
He broke every rule to become a father—now he’s one bad decision away from becoming the plot twist himself.
True Stories
Manipulation
Tagline: “Is evil inherited… or manufactured?”
Hook Sentence:
A brutal murder. A courtroom circus. And a defense that claims he was genetically destined to kill.
The Setup:
Told through dueling narratives and a fractured timeline, this based-on-a-true-story psychological courtroom thriller follows Penny and Brad—a toxic, trauma-warped couple whose love spirals into bloodshed. As the trial begins, the defense unveils a shocking strategy: a controversial gene variant that may explain Brad’s violent outburst.
The Pull:
But who is really manipulating whom? With a daughter caught in the crossfire, a defense attorney grasping at scientific straws, and a dead body that turns the courtroom into a warzone, this isn’t just a murder trial—it’s a dismantling of sanity, truth, and the fine line between victim and monster.
The Vibe:
Think The Act meets Monster with a dash of Mindhunter—where the “twist” isn’t just what happened, but why it happened… and whether any of them were ever innocent at all.
Final Line:
Justice may be blind, but this trial sees everything.
The Couriers
Tagline: “Everyone’s got a package—this one came with a body count.”
Hook Sentence:
When a young woman is murdered in a quiet mail depot, the most unreliable witness may be the truth itself.
The Setup:
Based on a true story, this slow-burn legal thriller unravels a tangled web of workplace affairs, obsession, and a murder that shook a British community to its core. As defense attorney Laurie Neale digs deeper, the case against his client seems watertight—until every “fact” starts to bleed.
The Pull:
With a hair sample as the star witness, a scorned lover in the morgue, and an entire courthouse of questionable characters, the question isn’t just who killed her—it’s who didn’t lie about it. As pressure mounts, Laurie must outwit a system built to convict, even if the truth stays buried.
The Vibe:
Think The Staircase meets Broadchurch—where the evidence is flimsy, the stakes are high, and the line between guilt and innocence is dangerously thin.
Final Line:
Justice delivers overnight. But this case? It’s still in the mail.
