LOGLINE: While waiting for her Google dream job, an ex-Israeli commando teaches a NYC night school philosophy class & uses her eclectic international students as unwitting pawns in her private eye gigs

THEME: Applying classical philosophical to today’s seemingly soulless world takes real effort. But when your professor is an unprincipled, self-absorbed, libertine dreamer, the moral boundaries are stretched to their limits. On the other hand, anything is better than sitting in the classroom being lectured on Confucius’ views on concubines.

Our Dreamer is DEVORAH ZISSA (DeZi) is ex-Israeli Army commando. Her name Hebrew means Sweet Bee & she’s the charismatic Queen bee all the other worker bees swarm around. Her philosophical views are a mix of Machiavelli & Sun Tzu. Dezi was indeed in Israeli Military intelligence but maybe not so successfully. But now that she’s in NYC, it’s all about a new type of battleground warfare: survival.

ZAYA is Dezi’s army BFF & now roommate in a Brooklyn loft full of Israelis called the Kibbutz. A hopeless romantic, Zaya is an aspiring celebrity personal trainer.

RONI KAPLAN (KAPO) is Dezi’s ex commander who owns a cleaning service/private security firm in NYC. Kapo has a complex big brother/misogynist relationship with Dezi but gets her the first few side gigs.
