COMP: THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI meets THELMA & LOUISE A character driven crime drama where lives intertwine and pull apart. The broken and the forgotten are the heart of this drama, social justice and the human spirit, its soul. Kingman, AZ.... Leaving behind the alcohol, a failed childless marriage and torpedoed career, MAUREEN (50s) plans to move away for good. Then her sexy neighbor, VICKY TORRES (30s) mysteriously disappears, leaving a toddler behind. Maureen is unsettled, and for good reason. He’s the product of a messy affair between estranged hubby ADAM ROSS and VICKY. So when Vicky’s mom GLORIA TORRES begs for help that night, Maureen isn’t anxious to assist, even though Gloria was once a dear friend. The two women give a lift to a driver in distress, ARJUN NAIR. When Vicky Torres’ body is discovered, Maureen learns her body was found near a Prius, owned by Arjun Nair. Maureen’s journalism instincts tell her there’s more to the story, and no one is going to like the answers.
