THE FEVER
By Nicholas Maiello

GENRE: Historical, Drama
LOGLINE:

Five friends go in search of a fabled fortune in late 1800’s California.

SYNOPSIS:

Shane is an everyday, neer-do-well just looking to earn a buck however he can. His friends labor arduously in the California mines trying to make the best possible living for themselves. Little do they know that their lives will be forever changed.

One day, while enjoying a hard-earned brew at Pop’s, a local hangout, the guys learn of the late Peabody, an affluent but eccentric millionaire, who supposedly left his vast fortune in the mountains of California.

Stricken with an epiphany, Shane suggests to the rest of the guys to go in search of the fortune and to evenly divide it amongst themselves when they find it. At first the guys are reluctant, but they eventually concede.

The road ahead will not be an easy one, as the guys’ mental and physical well-being will be tested at every turn. Strength, despair, and deceit will all emerge, as the journey will be as rich as the destination.
