Logline: Do you believe a man can find the inspiration for his salvation in another’s actions?

Synopsis: Crossroads is a completed 8 episode screenplay with a first episode script TV drama, set in a rehabilitation facility that spands the stories and dramas of the characters within the show.

Do you believe a man can find the inspiration for his salvation in another’s actions? Charles Dunn the once renowned psychologist, now washed up counselor didn’t, until he stumbled upon Howard Simpson, the patient that saved his life. Simpson, an everyday run-of-the-mill investment banker whose own problem with alcohol brought him to a living cross-roads, and under the care of a lost and hopeless Charles Dunn. Simpson’s life altering decision forces Dunn to come face to face with his own demons and make a decision of his own. Crossroads is a story about the impact one has on another, and the countless lives that are touched and saved by one man’s courage.

Addiction is all around us, whether struggling with being an addict or caring for an addict, we believe our story will and can be appreciated by a wide span of people, and that our audience will find a deep connection with the characters and story.

Was it fate? Was it coincidence? The only certain thing is that Mike and Bridget now find themselves locked into one-year leases, destined to encounter each other every morning when they leave and every evening when they come home. The tension promises to drive their best friends, the manager and all of the other tenants crazy as the once-lovers attempt to make each other’s life a living hell, in hopes of driving the other out of their life forever. As they do so, they individually trace the steps of their failed relationship in an attempt to understand what lead to the night that saw the engagement ring come off of the finger.

Crossroads begins with the end of Bridget and Mike’s relationship, but this half-hour comedy series will follow the ticking time bomb of a twosome on what will eventually be their journey back to each other, with all sorts of ups and downs, renewed leases, moments of clarity and, of course, moments of insanity.
