The writing problem
What needed to become clearer?
The story needed an immediate external threat, a credible mystery and enough emotional friction to sustain the relationship at its centre.
The thinking
Find the useful thread.
Use the chase to keep the plot moving, then let every forced decision reveal something new about the characters.
A short reflection
A chase becomes more interesting when the person beside you may be part of the mystery.

Series bible & pilot episode
Developed as part of a screenwriting assignment, this sample includes the series concept and pilot episode, The Stranger in the Rain, rather than a complete season.
