BROKEN TOYS
By Mike Johnston

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

A man is hired to save the biggest merger in corporate history. Just as he loses his secret ability to see the future, all because for the first time in his life, he falls in love.


SYNOPSIS:

Sandy is a cynical business consultant with the mysterious ability to see people's futures. He acquired this power from an ancient coin given to him by a strange Bedraggled Man. When the coin stops working, Sandy struggles to close a major corporate merger between World Mobile and Triton Industries.

Sandy grows close to Zibby, the charming lead negotiator for Triton. However, his lack of future vision jeopardizes the deal. Bull Gamble, the CEO of World Mobile, kidnaps Zibby to force Sandy to approve the merger, since World Mobile is secretly near bankruptcy and needs the deal.

Sandy gives up the coin to save Zibby. He then learns Zibby was deceiving him the whole time in order to secure a big payday from the merger. Even so, they reconcile and plan to run away together.

In the end, Bull is murdered by his own lawyer Gideon in a dispute over the coin. The merger goes through, making Triton's CEO the new head of the combined company. Gideon goes to prison, Wild Card loses his strip club, and Sandy's eccentric roommate Najee improbably becomes a U.S. Senator.

Years later, Sandy and Zibby have built a happy life together. In a twist ending, an elderly Sandy is revealed to be the same Bedraggled Man who originally gave his younger self the magic coin that allowed him to see the future.
