Xanadu Shores: 10 Minute PoC for The TV Pilot

Four friends unknowingly become entrapped after their employer's gold heist escalates to kidnapping. A capricious agent and his comely accomplice chase his friends by land, air and sea, closing in on the crooks, explosively culminating on Xanadu Shores- The Pilot. Followed by II - "All That Glitters"- The Feature and "Rescuing Atlas" - XS The Series Trilogy. Genre: Action, Adventure, Thriller.

This Proof of Concept showcases the central characters being introduced with sex appeal, all quite happy, in an office reception area, before the heist, kidnapping and chase. The characters ultimately save themselves from corruption and death. The series is about desires, death, and duty to friends. In the end the bad guys lose and my (our) heroes win. It’s a lively yarn encapsulating an adventurous lifestyle transforming Xanadu Shores-The Pilot into The Super Spy Series.

*Tired of Miami drug violence showing the underbelly of morally weak minded criminals? *Does gratuitous sex saving England leave you emotionally unsatisfied? *Is it exciting to see a hero cruising through death defying stunts to save the world?
