SYNOPSIS:

FINDING DIAMONDS is a romantic comedy about two engaged women who set out to find diamonds in a fictional Nevada mine, but when betrayed, they discover the meaning of love, trust, and friendship. It’s “Thelma and Louise” with the plot twists of “The Usual Suspects.” Quirky Jules Green meets uptight Lauren Real at a birthday wine tasting for mutual friend Liz. The two have nothing in common, except for the fact they’re both engaged to be married. Because Jules works at a jewelry store and Lauren needs the perfect stone for her engagement ring, they pair up for a trip to the Las Vegas desert at the page 12 story beat. Lauren has real estate dealings with her mother’s friend Glory, who becomes their nurturing mentor. They stay at her ranch home, where they meet Glory’s sons, Ben and Guy. Ben is a low-life who makes bad choices and connects with the wrong people. Guy is the respectable brother, who becomes a love interest for Jules. It gets complicated as Jules’ relationship with Noah, a spoiled mama’s boy, deteriorates and Jules realizes who she can depend on when Liz flies out to help them assess the worth of a found diamond. By the end of Act 2, we’re not sure Liz is who she says she is, and when the gang literally falls into an abandoned diamond mine, Ben’s shady dealings come to the surface. As the story resolves in Act 3, someone gets married, but it’s not who you might think. The happy-ever-after is the new found friendship of our unlikely buddies.
