Storyline

STORY/SYNOPSIS:
Jay, a middle-aged man hungry for luxury, is living a double life: doting on a wealthy "sugar mama" while deceiving his devoted wife, Samantha. When Samantha uncovers his betrayal, she orchestrates a brilliant confrontation that reveals her true strength—and leaves Jay stripped of everything he values most.

Roles

Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	SAMANTHA	Female 30 - 44 Years old
Description SAMANTHA - EARLY 40s (30-44), FEMALE Resilient, self-made, and quietly determined, Samantha is the epitome of grace under pressure. Beneath her calm exterior lies a sharp wit and a deep strength that Jay underestimates until it’s too late. Can she finally show the world—and herself—her true worth? Hair and Makeup: Polished but understated: natural waves, minimal makeup that enhances her inner glow, and soft tones to reflect her transformation. Wardrobe (Scene & Day): Clean, professional attire that transitions to elegant empowerment by the final scene. SCENE 1 & 3: INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT Tailored, fitted blazer in a bold, empowering color (e.g., deep red or navy) paired with sleek black slacks and classic heels. Statement jewelry - should be her own. FLASHBACKS: SCENE 2: LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Worn, practical loungewear like an oversized sweatshirt and leggings. SCENE 2A: KITCHEN - NIGHT Pajamas that show subtle wear and tear, such as a slightly faded button-up shirt and loose pajama pants. SCENE 2B: BEDROOM - NIGHT Comfortable yet modest sleepwear, such as a plain tanka and joggers. SCENE 2C: FOYER - NIGHT Casual at-home attire like a simple cardigan over a t-shirt and jeans. SCENE 2D: LIVING ROOM - NIGHT A slightly more presentable version of her work-from-home attire, such as a neatly styled blouse and dark jeans.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	JAY	Male 30 - 44 Years old
Description JAY - EARLY 40s, (30-44), MALE Charming, smug, and shamelessly self-centered, Jay is a man who thrives on flattery and materialism. His obsession with luxury blinds him to his wife’s brilliance—and his eventual downfall. How will he handle losing everything he thought defined him? Hair and Makeup: Well-groomed and slightly vain: slicked-back hair and a polished, youthful look. Wardrobe (Scene & Day): Reflects his shallow priorities: SCENE 1 & 3: INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT Boxers, t-shirt or tank top, dark-colored slacks around his ankles/he later pulls up, dark socks. FLASHBACKS: SCENE 2: LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Casual loungewear like a fitted t-shirt and pajama pants. SCENE 2B: BEDROOM - NIGHT Shirtless with pajama pants as he admires himself in the mirror. SCENE 2C: FOYER - NIGHT Polished, smart business casual– crisp button-down shirt, blazer, and slacks, mid-dressy shoes.
Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	ALEXANDRA	Female 30 - 44 Years old
Description ALEXANDRA - EARLY 40S (30-44), FEMALE Sophisticated, alluring, and shrewd, Alexandra is the perfect "sugar mama"—until her ulterior motives are revealed. She’s one step ahead of Jay at every turn, making her a critical ally to Samantha. How much of Alexandra’s charm is genuine, and how much is strategy? Hair and Makeup: Glamorous and striking: bold lipstick, voluminous curls, and impeccable eyeliner. Wardrobe (Scene & Day): SCENE 1: INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT Sultry yet tasteful—lingerie layered with a silk robe and designer heels. FLASHBACKS: SCENE 2D: LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Low-key and approachable, wearing a flattering but conservative outfit like a fitted sweater and tailored pants. SCENE 3: INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT Changed into something smart-casual, dark jeans, fitted shirt, crop/jacket, everyday shoes (no heels or runners).
