Temporary Employment

A “Paradox Productions” FILM
WRITTEN BY Lucas Sachs

Leo Parker is a master in his chosen line of work, serving his high powered and often highly dysfunctional employers in executing some of their less PR friendly tasks. From disposing of deceased "working girls", to picking up more than misdemeanor sized amounts of narcotics. It's all a part of the daily engagements of the rich and famous, and Leo is here to help.

One such client is famed local philanthropist Greg Hamilton who consistently follows the routine of bringing back high priced female escorts to is home only to have the overdose on his bedroom floor, and thats where Leo steps in. However this night is different, Greg has locked himself inside, a neurotic and inebriated mess with a gun in hand. The scene Leo discovers changes his entire business operation forever. An opened safe, a dead employer, over $50,000 in expected drug payment and an economic epiphany. Why solve the problems of his clients for a meagre salary, when he could create the very situations that lead to their demise and gain the big bucks? Drug deals, extortion, body removal, all of which Leo deals with to the benefit of his employers. But why not play both sides?

Alongside his longtime secretary and lover Adriana, Leo sets about his new business endeavors, and with resounding success. From court judges embroiled in drug deals gone wrong to an actor with a penchant for the "exotic". Leo's elaborate orchestrations begin to pile in the cash, as well as the high profile corpses. Although the press throws a glossy and noble spin upon the deaths of Leo's prior employers, an upstart detective with an eye for a conspiracy begins to look for a connection between Leo's prior employers. The connection being their involvement with Leo. But Leo's biggest possible client has just stepped onto the social radar.

Young and promising politician Edward Granger is the perfect employer for Leo, trust fund backed and with money to burn. But there's just one big problem, the clean cut and straight laced image he perpetuates in the media may just be based in truth. With none of the regular hedonistic and criminal avenues for Leo to employ a scheme, he's faced with a dilemma of finding a method of "payment" without screaming murder to the public eye and a subsequent criminal investigation which he has so far avoided. In the darkly comedic world of "Temporary Employment" no business deal ever goes off without a hitch. But in Leo's eyes, business has never been so ethical.
