Dig Two Graves

The story begins with an incontrovertible act: Joseph Marlowe shoots tech billionaire Charles Conrad in the head—caught on camera, with no denial. Yet, in the aftermath, Joseph calmly insists: he did not kill Charles Conrad. As psychiatrist Dr. Shepherd investigates, Joseph begins confessing to a string of other murders. When one of his claimed victims is discovered exactly where he said, the boundaries between delusion, deception, and reality begin to blur. Structured as a cerebral cat-and-mouse interrogation, Dig Two Graves pulls from historical allegory, philosophical paradoxes, and an enigmatic ability Joseph calls “switching.” The pilot leans heavily into atmospheric tension and layered dialogue—drawing inspiration from Severance, True Detective, and The Fall. The pilot script is complete, and I’ve developed a series bible detailing season arcs and thematic evolution. With its contained setting and intimate cast, the production remains streamlined while opening the door to expansive mystery and genre experimentation.
