Idea for pilot
The pilot begins with a man taking his police badge off and putting a ski mask on. Moving on to act one, the protagonist's daily routine is shown. He is a police officer. He is shown stopping a person who robbed a local store at gunpoint. He goes back to the police station to be told by the chief that what he did was too reckless. He then goes home to his family. He has a wife who has her own inner demons, and two children. Both young boys. However, the protagonist's life is turned upside down when two loan sharks show up and kick his door down. They say that his wife owes their gang $100,000. She took out a loan of $50,000 to desperately feed her drug habit, which is hinted at when there is a needle on her desk just before her husband walks in. She did not realise that there was a 50% interest rate on the loan. The loan sharks say that their boss wants the money in one month or her whole family will be turned into "TV dinners". The husband berates her addiction, calling it "weak-minded" and "selfish." However, he has to get the money very quickly, in order to save himself, his children and his wife. He somehow gets involved in a heist on a goods warehouse, where he coups $200,000. During the heist, he feels the adrenaline of being chased and causing chaos. After the hiest, he looks at all the money he got and the rush he had and realises that he has no restrictions when he is a criminal and gets a sizable amount of money which pays off the debt, but means his family can live in luxury. Act 4 shows him in another heist, having the time of his life. He is now addicted to heists, which establishes a connection between his wife's drug addiction. He comes home late at night and enters his child's bedroom where his youngest boy asks "Did you catch the bad guys?" He now leads a secret double life and the pilot ends.
