Logline: Aspiring writer is hit by a DA’s wife driving under the influence of prescribed drugs, and a small cover-up reveals real big cover-ups.
Christie Boucher is her own worst enemy—inflexible, self-deprecating and unable to market herself. Then she’s hit by a car driven by a DA’s wife and mother of three under the influence of prescribed drugs, Paula Landers, and through her recovery the women develop a unique relationship. Christie lives on the Landers estate while recovering and also gets her first book deal. But writer’s block sets in, forcing Christie to confront her deepest insecurities and question her true commitment to living; she learns the consequences of success and must choose to pay the price, while Paula Landers prefers to avoid the consequences of her actions above all, but instead learns of a murder/cover up that could benefit her, and threatens her, too, along with several powerful figures in the District Attorney’s office. She tells Christie, who begins a screenplay.
