The Deadline

Synopsis

Two writers, tired and stressed, attempt to meet a very tight deadline. Their task - to write the next hot script. Their problem - they are quickly running out of time. The desperate men jump between genre and style, plots and character arcs, as they struggle to find that elusive idea. As paper and time begin to run out, so too do the few ideas that they have. Will they meet that deadline or will they crack?
