A limo driver. A blackmail tape in motion. A senator with everything to protect.

What started as leverage is about to turn into control, betrayal, and survival.

ACT TWO

The ride is over. The damage is not.

What was leverage becomes exposure.

And everyone wants a piece of it.

Sal thought he could drive away from it.

He was wrong.

The tape moves.

Hands change. Intentions shift.

And the people behind it start stepping into the light.

Vincent steps in. Old world. Old rules.

A man who understands that power isn’t what you have… it’s what you can take back.

Charlie circles.

Smiling just enough to make you wonder how far this goes.

And Baxter?

He doesn’t panic. He recalculates.

Because men like him don’t lose… they rewrite the outcome.

Hara sees it too.

The angles. The leverage. The opening.

And she’s not asking permission.

The city fades in the rearview. The road stretches out.

What’s left is distance… and decisions.

Who controls the tape?

Who controls the story?

And who walks away from it?

Because now it’s not about the job.

It’s about ownership.

Act Two is where alliances fracture, truth gets negotiated, and silence becomes the most dangerous move in the room.

And by the time it’s over…

no one is clean.

MY LADY'S SONG

A limo driver. Two porn stars. A senator with everything to lose.

One night in New York that turns into leverage, betrayal, and war.

ACT ONE

New York. Late-night Eighth Avenue. Strip clubs, neon, and power moving quietly behind tinted glass.

Sal “The Barber” Marino is a former soldier of the streets, a man who did twelve years without talking and now makes a living driving high-end clients through a city he no longer trusts.

One call pulls him back in.

A simple job. Easy money. Drive the girls. Pick up the client. Keep your mouth shut.

But the client is a powerful senator.

The ride is being recorded.

And the job isn’t what it seems.

What starts as routine turns into leverage. a blackmail setup that reaches into politics, unions, and the last remnants of old-school control.

As the night bleeds into morning and the city gives way to the open road, Sal is locked in with Hara; young, sharp, and unpredictable. Two worlds collide. Old code versus new survival.

And then it breaks.

A confrontation. A line crossed.

A slap that lands harder than anything that came before.

That’s the moment everything changes.

Act One ends when business becomes personal... and there’s no going back.

🎧 THE G.Y.M.

Welcome to THE G.Y.M.

Not a gym. A situation.

Valerie inherited a neighborhood gym from her mother.

What she actually inherited? Debt, broken equipment, a failing business… and a staff that turns every small problem into a full-blown emergency.

Across the street, a sleek corporate fitness empire is opening with glass walls, perfect lighting, and zero chaos.

Inside The G.Y.M.?

Flooded hot tubs.

Out-of-order bikes.

A spin class that may or may not be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

And a “Grand Re-Opening” that could either save the place… or finally finish it.

This is a workplace comedy where nothing works, nobody communicates, and every attempt to fix things somehow makes them worse.

Think Parks and Recreation meets It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, set inside a failing gym where the stakes are low… until suddenly they’re not.

Recorded live at SXSW /. Podcast Movement, this Austin Film Festival award-winning script by Dani Hanks delivers fast, character-driven comedy with just enough heart to make you root for people who absolutely should not be in charge of anything.

You don’t come here to get fit.

You come here because something is definitely about to go wrong.
