When a down on his luck, geeky teen with identity issues takes on the identity of Kevin, he gets more than he bargained for… a comedic tale of mistaken identity and a young man wearing the wrong badge!
Quarter- Finalist Screencraft's Comedy Script Contest 2014
SYNOPSIS:
DEREK is your typical 19 year old, stuck between his teenage years and adulthood, with no intention of growing up, taking responsibilities, or becoming an adult any time soon. Not having found his place in the world yet, Derek wanders around without a clue of what he wants to do or who he really is.
On his second day at the local burger joint, ‘Flip It Burgers’, Derek forgets his name badge which, along with his poor time keeping, infuriates his boss MR. GRIMSHAW. Derek is called into his office and after a stern talking to he is handed a random badge of an ex employee – Kevin. Derek pins the badge to his chest and assumes the identity of Kevin, but little does he know that Kevin from Flip It Burgers has a reputation that precedes him…both good… and bad…
Thinking he is the real Kevin from Flip It, a hot babe comes on to Derek, leaving him her phone number, much to the annoyance and jealousy of his co worker WAYNE. Throughout the day, people continue to mistake Derek for Kevin with women coming on to him, random people saying hello and when a group of guys buy him drinks all night and take him to the local strip club ‘Curves R Us’, Derek really begins to enjoy the highs of being Kevin. The best day of Derek’s life is made complete when he receives his first ever blow job from a hot stripper.
Derek wakes the next day with a monster hangover and no intention of going into work. But after a stern talking to from his mum, Derek throws on his ‘Flip It’ uniform, and heads to work, choosing to stick with the lucky Kevin badge. But as he starts work his luck takes a dramatic turn for the worst when two dimwitted heavies, DANGEROUS DAVE and TALLY mistake him for the real Kevin and demand money he owes to their boss, DOLLAR BILL- the cities leading drug kingpin. Derek manages to convince the heavies that he is not the real Kevin, telling them Wayne is. Now having both Wayne and Derek tied up in his basement, and both claiming they are not Kevin, Dangerous Dave has no choice but to contact Dollar Bill. With the real Kevin being something of a myth, Dollar Bill is yet another person who hasn’t actually met Kevin face to face so is unable to confirm which one is the real Kevin. Losing his patience and wanting what’s owed to him, he gives Derek and Wayne 24 hours to get his money back or else Dangerous Dave and Tally will “ghost” them.
With the clock ticking on their lives, Derek and Wayne form an unlikely partnership and set out to track down the real Kevin, meeting many undesirable, angry, characters that Kevin has crossed along the way, getting into further mischief and mayhem that leads to a grand finale at ‘Flip It Burgers’.
