MAIN CHARACTERS:

• BETH SWIFT: (Adult, Female) A polished businesswoman in her 30s, her sharp tongue and urban edge falter under the strain of a rural misstep, revealing a desperate need to salvage a deal.

• TUCKER BASS: (Adult, Male) A rugged landowner in his late 40s, his folksy charm masks a steely resolve, quick to bristle at perceived slights but firm in his control.

SYNOPSIS: On a dusty rural road, Beth Swift, stranded in a suit beside her broken-down car, flags down Tucker Bass, only to spark a clash of city and country. Her sarcastic jab at his friendly demeanor ignites his ire, and when she learns he’s the key to her land deal, her hasty apology falls flat. Tucker, unmoved by her promises of profit, declares his land off-limits, driving off as Beth’s desperation mounts. The air crackles with her miscalculation, hinting at a high-stakes negotiation teetering on the edge of collapse.
