THE STORY
This is the story of power and duality
and how a clique of bank robbers struggling to reign as the most powerful
clique in the city. Zoe, the leader, leads her group of minions to rob a
crowded bank. The heist is disrupted by a surprise that changes Zoe's life
forever.
Zoe 27,
F: Arrogant, bull headed, ruthless Asian leader of the Clan with a hard
exterior but is really in search of the truth of her true identity. She
is inclined to seek approval of everyone in the room but never truly is
satisfied with the outcome after gaining EVERYONE’S attention. She
demands her Clan to be loyal even if the direction she leads them in may lead
to destruction.
Chloe 27,
F: Loyal, humble, angelic police officer who’s day to day goal is to rid the
city of crime and will not stop until the streets are clean.
Serafina 23,
F: The jealous, tattooed, buzz cut, attractive lesbian who has a crush on Zoe
even though she is in a committed relationship with her girlfriend. She
is determined to outshine every member of the Clan and strives to seek approval
of Zoe.
Lucy 27,
F: A delicate freckled green-eyed Caucasian. She is the family reject ever
since she quit school, and eloped. Since the marriage ended in annulment,
she refused to return home to face the wrath of her family. Now
considered an outcast, she finds refuge while with the Clan.
Ricky 37,
M: A blond haired chameleon who, when placed in a situation, becomes the
character that best suits that situation. Known for his stand up
performances with very corny punch lines, his talent wasn’t paying the bills so
his career with the Clan is the way he makes money. God bless him!!
Paul, 31, M: An
annoyed, pessimist and worry wart who is always consumed with pointing out the
worst in every situation. He is convinced that even though Zoe is the
founder of the Clan, he is meant to be the true leader. He can change the
world, but can’t make it to the meeting due to heavy traffic.
