TOY SOLDIERS

TOY SOLDIERS
By Jorge Parente

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

Two years after a brutal attack, Jake Maxwell finds comfort in painting toy soldiers, but when a caregiver named Lucy enters his life, he’s forced to question if she’s real or a product of his troubled mind.

SYNOPSIS:

Two years after a brutal attack left him scarred and reeling with PTSD, Jake Maxwell lives a solitary existence, confined to his apartment and haunted by flashbacks and dreams. His only comfort lies in painting toy soldiers, a meticulous ritual that brings fleeting peace. When Lucy, a compassionate caregiver, unexpectedly enters his life, Jake begins to believe in the possibility of connection and recovery. But as their bond deepens, disturbing cracks in reality emerge, and Jake is forced to confront whether Lucy is truly real—or a fragile construct of his desperate mind. Toy Soldiers is a psychological drama about trauma, hope, and the courage it takes to step beyond the battlefield within.

Unique concept, Jorge Parente. I suggest changing "Jake Maxwell" to "a _______ (the main flaw he has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes his personality) _______ (his title/job/career)*." I suggest doing the same thing for Lucy. I also suggest adding the stakes to the logline.
