PERSONAL FINANCES-

To pay off his mortgage, family man George Winters takes a second job running guns, procuring prostitutes and picking up strange packages at the airport. For his bank president.

INCITING INCIDENT
When construction engineer George Winters doesn’t get the promotion he deserves, his family falls in danger of losing their home to foreclosure. George tries to refinance the mortgage, but gets turned down, leaving him with little choice but to watch the bank repossess his home. That is, until he meets Leon Webb, the bank’s charming, persuasive president. 

ACT I
Leon gives George a chance to pay off his mortgage, without resorting to foreclosure. He offers him a debt restructuring plan in exchange for providing some needed services to him. George wonders about the legality of it all, but Leon reassures him that “it’s not all math; banks are about people, too.” 

ACT II
At first, Leon offers George, a trained engineer, a series of construction jobs to keep up his mortgage. Some landscaping here, some deck building there. But soon, George finds the odd jobs becoming very odd. Before long, George is storing explosives in his basement and delivering packages wrapped in plain brown wrappers to addresses in decrepit neighborhoods. Finally, one of Leon’s “errands” gets him thrown in jail, on a custom’s violation. For three tortuous nights, George is kicked, beaten, and doused with ice-cold water, before being thrown on the side of the road. After this, George decides he’s had enough. He refuses to work for Leon anymore, no matter what the cost.

Leon throws a tantrum at this “disloyalty,” but George walks out and doesn’t look back. Quickly, though, he finds out that there are consequences for desertion. His credit card rates go up mysteriously.  The neighbors cut up their rosebushes that extended six inches over the property line. One day, George and his wife, Ellie, get the scare of their lives when their 6-year-old son goes missing. He’s returned only a few hours later, but George learns that their recent troubles may not be an accident. The tight-lipped policeman who brought home their son reveals that Leon is behind the harassment. Everybody, on all levels of society, owes the bank president money. George’s neighbors, the police, local business owners, everyone—they’re all on the take, the cop says, and George is now their number one target.

ACT III  
George convinces the 50ish policeman, Officer Harry Andrews, to help him fight back against Leon. But the plan fails when Harry is “accidentally” gunned down in the line of duty. After Harry’s funeral, Leon attempts to bring George back into the fold, playing the part of the forgiving father in his warped version of the Prodigal Son.

When George breaks off contact for a few days, Leon gets nervous. The confrontation comes to a head when Leon demands that he return the explosives he forced George to store in his home’s basement. Using his engineering skills, and the explosives Leon dropped on his doorstep, George devises a plan that washes away his debt, his connection to Leon, and the beautiful, beloved home he could never afford.
