ME

ME
By Mark Deuce

GENRE: Drama, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A 40-year-old man, stuck in a cycle of failure and living with his overbearing parents, dies briefly from an energy drink overdose, only to return with a commanding voice from his stomach that forces him to confront his past, take control of his life, and unravel the truth behind his fractured psyche.

SYNOPSIS:

Elevator Pitch:

Imagine a 40-year-old man, Ted Williams, a basement-dwelling gamer drowning in energy drinks, trapped under his domineering dad’s scorn and clingy mom’s guilt. One night, he overdoses, flatlines for 6 minutes, and wakes changed. A voice—deep, relentless—speaks from his stomach, its skin bulging into a grotesque, talking head. It’s “Coach,” a mix of drill sergeant and therapist, forcing Ted to eat right, get a job, and escape his parents’ toxic grip. Pain strikes if he disobeys. Using his gaming cash, Ted flees to a remote cabin, where Coach grows bolder, unearthing buried childhood trauma—his dad’s brutal pressure, his mom’s smothering love. As Ted transforms, he questions: Is Coach a hallucination or his suppressed strength? Me is a darkly funny, visceral blend of Fight Club and Inside Out, a psychological odyssey about breaking cycles and owning your identity. It’s raw, surreal, and deeply human—perfect for adults craving a story that’s as haunting as it is hopeful.
