LOGLINE: After his best friend gets asked out on a dating app, Matty is convinced something shady is afoot. But will his intuition be enough to spot the true conspiracy?

Looking to cast “ELIJAH” and “LEAH” only – other roles included for context.

MATTY – Our main guy, Matty, is your typical cool nerd. Yes, cool nerd. Introverted, but liked. A true crime aficionado. And hopelessly dense when it comes to love. Matty does his best to stay cool, calm and collected, but tends to freak out under pressure.

MAYA – Our love interest, Maya, has a coyness about her which she uses to mask the feelings she has for, Matty, her best friend since high school. Sharp-witted and creative, Maya knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to think outside the box to get it!

*ELIJAH*, MALE, 20-25, BLACK – Matty’s best friend since the age of six – and don’t you forget it! A hopeless romantic, Elijah is deeply invested in Matty and Maya’s slow burn. He’s a certified yapper and never thinks twice about saying what’s on his mind (even when he probably should).

*LEAH*, FEMALE, 25-30, BLACK – Matty’s big sister, Leah is an ambitious young professional by day and a reality tv fanatic by night – especially The Bachelor. When it comes to her brother, Leah can play Matty like a fiddle; she knows just what to say to make him tick!
