"DOG EAT DOG" by Nick Seaney
It's Hansel-and-Grethel-meets-Fight-Club when a young man named Fabian, trying to discover his self-worth, keeps repeating the same destructive behavior until he is kidnapped by an organization with a bizarre lust for flesh and given the chance to finally prove himself a man.
LEAD ROLE
-----------------
FABIAN: Lead role
Male, mid-20s
Average male preferably with short hair. Average build.
Fabian is a normal guy who works to survive. He hates his job and has big aspirations but doesn't have the initiative to make his dreams come to fruition. When he is kidnapped, his survival instinct is finally tested to its limits.
SUPPORTING ROLES
-------------------------------
BOSS: Supporting role
Male, 40-50
Fabian's boss is a man who prides himself on his success. He tries to inspire a positive attitude toward work and being successful in others. He absolutely loathes those who get stuck in a rut and eventually learn to accept their circumstances. To him, it is the ultimate sign of weakness and he gives such people no pity. He is a member of a secret organization which feeds the poor to the rich.
IVAN: Supporting role
Male, mid-20s
Very thin, preferably with a shaved head or willing to have head shaved clipper-short.
Ivan once worked with Fabian. Now he's a resident of the secret organization's cellar. He refuses to eat and has gone a little stir crazy from being under such stress for so long. He has the willingness to change as long as he doesn't have to work for it. However, if the opportunity came along, he would fight tooth and nail to achieve it.
GREGORY: Supporting role
Male, 25-30
Very thin, preferably with a shaved head or willing to have head shaved clipper-short.
The epitome of what Fabian is trying to change about himself. Gregory has accepted his fate down alongside Ivan in the cellar of the secret organization. He takes a childish approach to survival -- trying to extend a life he's given up on long ago.
MAITRE D': Supporting role
Male, 35-45
A consummate gentleman through and through. The Maitre D' exhibits a sophistication that is second to none. Underneath his ostentatious exterior lies a sinister man who is a front for the secret organization's restaurant.
SPEAKER: Supporting role
Male, 35-50
A member of the secret organization. He is a morale booster and the equivalent of a fuhrer.
