CHEET
Cheet, 21, is a drug dealer involved in a weed grow op, who also cares for his sick and elderly grandad, barely scraping by and struggling to afford his bills. One day, his partner Smig gets arrested and he’s unable to continue growing, so he has to find a new partner, forcing him to turn to an unlikely person for help – his dad, a man who up until only a year ago, was completely missing from his life. With authorities cricling closer and closer, the pair have no choice but to join forces, but a crucial mistake attracts the unwanted attention of one of the most ruthless gangsters in Liverpool, sealing their fate of being drawn into a long and bloody gang war.
This story is a TV series, spanning 5 seasons, currently in development. Available to view on request are the pilot script, pitch deck and one page sales sheet.
