MISSION, INCORPORATED (MISSION, INC.)
By Lonie Nichols

GENRE: Drama, Family
LOGLINE:

A retired Army Chaplain, reformed prostitute, homeless man and some working prostitutes find themselves in a tangled mess of repelling and attracting to finally reach a level of harmony during trying times.

SYNOPSIS:

A newly retired Army Chaplain attempts to rehabilitate Iraq and Afghanistan war wounded at his Mission in a small Nevada desert town. Financial difficulties and lack of interest threatens the Mission's very existence. Further stress on the Mission occurs when the Chaplain's assistant, First Sister (a reformed prostitute) seemingly backslides into her old ways--contrary to the strict morals of the Chaplain. The Mission is saved in an unexpected and creative way that involves the prostitutes from the local Itty Bitty Kitty Ranch.

Ancillary characters both help create the problems as well as solve them.
