Synopsis: A lot of life happens in a very short amount of time. Most of it just happens when we're not looking. In my new script "Shark Tank," a close look is taken at the lives of a group of friends in a gay bar over the course of one, single night. Similar to "Crash" in tone, the story shows how for some love is found, for others it's lost and for others the bonds of friendship are tested to the breaking point. In "Shark Tank," the human condition is examined in the least likely of places.

A savagely clever con job leaves one to face the town's tirade (and Federal handcuffs), while the other is hailed a hero.
