SILVER STRINGS

SILVER STRINGS
By Michael St Lawrence

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

A teen rocker from 2025 crash-lands in 1880s Colorado with her magical guitar and a killer 70s setlist. Teaming up with a sharp-tongued Saloon Diva and a haunted outlaw, she sparks a riotous musical rebellion to save her doomed ancestors with soul, sass, and whiskey.

SYNOPSIS:

In SILVER STRINGS, a genre-bending Western comedy with heart, soul, and serious swagger, a teenage rock star named Jessie from 2025 wakes up mysteriously in the Wilder West—specifically, 1880 Leadville, Colorado. She’s armed with nothing but her Martin acoustic guitar, a busted iPad—her last link to 2025—and no idea how she got there. But her guitar is enchanted: when she plays, it forces brutal, hilarious honesty from everyone who hears it. Cowboys confess secrets, hookers admit they’re faking orgasms and lying for silver, and hardened men fall to their knees singing their guts out.

Her only ally? Sally, a fiery saloon queen with a sharp tongue and a sharper hustle, who rises from hardened hustler to fearless partner. She sees in Jessie a wild, soulful, swaggering girl with mysterious power—the soul sister her aching heart needs. Together, the two misfits launch an outrageous musical revolution that transforms the saloon into a confessional concert hall, flips the power dynamic of the town on its whiskey-soaked head, and turns the outlaws into something close to redeemed, mending broken spirits with every chord.

Their bond is electric—think Thelma & Louise meets Deadwood by way of Everything Everywhere All at Once. Sally’s survival instincts meet Jessie’s chaotic genius in a story that blends bawdy comedy, mythic emotion, and outlaw feminism. But when a crooked banker schemes to steal Jessie’s enchanted guitar and silence her music to keep Leadville under his crooked thumb, the women are forced to fight not just for the town—but for each other.

And time is running out—if they can’t figure out how to get Jessie back to 2025 before her iPad dies, losing its clues to her way home, she’s stuck in the Wilder West for good.

Silver Strings is a female-driven, time-ripping, laugh-out-loud heartbreaker of a script. It’s about music as rebellion, sisterhood as salvation, and the wild alchemy of truth and whiskey.
