Premise:

Over the years, Head-Priest skimmed $10Million from Church charities to take with him to Rome in 2 wks after a final sold-out Charity Concert featuring a surprise band. He set up all the paperwork to blame Fr QUART when the surprise band is “no” band and send Fr Quart to prison for the $10Million that Head-Priest Is keeping for himself. Present-day Drama, Light-Comedy, Music, Action

Synopsis:

Heart-broken leaving his Patrol Dogs in Afghanistan, WIN thinks he’s on his way home from Military Service to his wife and a peaceful new start to a nice life giving up his former felonious ways, until his brother, Father QUART, picks him up at the train station, on the run having stolen $2Million from the embezzler and abusive Head-Priest at his Church.

Fr Quart has just helped four school-boys report Head-Priest’s sexual abuses to the authorities and stolen the $2Million cash which Head-Priest embezzled from Church Charities. To get it back, Head-Priest has set two hit-men bikers hot on Fr Quart's trail.

Hopefully Win and Quart have diverted Head-Priest’s hit-men bikers off his trail long enough to rehearse a Church-charity concert at Win’s whore-house to perform at the sold-out show in 2 weeks or Quart will go to jail, framed and set-up, for a no-show band and the cash Head-Priest stole from Church.

With the ever ominous threat of violent death if they are found making music instead of whoopy, they keep their loved ones safe, including a toddler and a dog. But it’s love at first sight that proves the real danger for Quart.

For two weeks, music is their life and in the midst of prostitution, gun-fire car-chases, and a few gags with the common goal of a new start to a nice life, they weave an unconventional but affectionate family bond.

At the end; The outlaw bikers become heroic allies, the Head-Priest is brought to justice, and after fighting-off and winning an explosive pre-concert attack, Quart earns Wendy's respect and wins Sonia's heart, the show goes on and they’re free to have their new start to a nice life!
