LEAVING SOON
By Mbia Mvondo

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

100 days sober, a former addict takes a shady job from a mysterious “support group” to help fund his sister’s future. But after waking up drugged and in debt, he’s forced to confront how far he’s willing to go to protect the only person he has left.

SYNOPSIS:

Leaving Soon follows Nick, newly sober and barely holding his life together, as he cares for his sharp, artistic younger sister, Cari. When an old friend introduces Nick to a mysterious underground casino promising fast money and “clean” work, Nick takes the risk — unaware he’s stepping into something far more dangerous. As the night spirals, Cari is abducted, and Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect in the eyes of a cop who has never trusted him. Trapped between criminal power structures and law enforcement, Nick is forced to confront the parts of himself he’s been trying to outrun. The proof-of-concept short captures the inciting events of the series, establishing a world where recovery, crime, and family collide. The larger episodic story expands into an ongoing exploration of redemption, surveillance, and the cost of trying to change in a system that profits when you don’t.
