MISS FORTUNE

MISS FORTUNE
By Breeze Vincinz

GENRE: Comedy, Drama
LOGLINE:

Slacker Baby Boomer Marsha Nancy attends a twelve-step financial program to investigate the sloth-like behaviors that have negatively impacted her life, friendships, ex-girlfriends, and finances, including her all Black female staffed dispensary, that a crafty and prejudicial politician is determined to close. 

SYNOPSIS:

Marsha Nancy was never good with money. An admitted party girl whose vices are whiskey, women, and Chicago Blues, she was never good at budgeting, earning, or saving money. Now in her late '50s, she acquires a fledging Los Angeles-based dispensary staffed exclusively with African American women, and those old layabout habits not only resurface but catch the attention of a charismatic and bigoted politician who vows to close her business.

She begrudgingly attends a 12-Step based financial program at the behest of a disagreeable conservative-leaning coworker. Through their participation, Marsha begins to realize how much her family, work, and love lives are in disarray, and in an effort to pass an upcoming audit, she enlists the assistance of a former flame who not only encourages her hedonist tendencies but also puts her on the radar of prior associates who funded the dispensary through illegal means and wants to do Marsha harm.

Alcoholics Anonymous states its approximate success rate is 50%, plus 25%. This means that 50% of members stay sober, 25% of members relapse but come back, and 25% fail to use AA effectively and do not remain sober. This is a story about one woman's struggle with her own addictions, and the world she lives in that encourages both her sobriety and her demise.

I think it could use some tightening here. The following is only an idea... to garner thoughts for you, in hopes it helps in some small way. No suggestion this is better than what you have, only another approach... "Slacker Baby Boomer, Marsha Nancy, attends a twelve-step financial program to quash the sloth-like behaviors she blames for negatively impacted her life and relationships, but along the way, she gathers the confidence to stop a prejudicial politician from closing an all-Black, female staffed, dispensary." I hope this helps in some way and best of luck!
