THE WORLDS LUCKIEST UNLUCKY GUY
LOGLINE
Paul Smith, the world's luckiest unlucky guy to ever step foot onto a bocce court, finds that love comes at a price, which might be his life when he plays for the mafia.
SUMMARY
In an unexpected twist of fate, Paul Smith, a reserved and unassuming man, finds himself drawn to the captivating Isabella Rizzo. Isabella, a fearless and adventurous spirit, is the stark opposite of Paul's introverted nature. Yet, their shared passion for bocce ball ignites a unique bond between them, with Paul's undisputed talent in the game taking center stage.
Little does Paul know; his new love interest is deeply entwined in a world far removed from his own. Isabella is the cherished daughter of Don Vito Rizzo, the formidable head of the Rizzo Crime Family. Following his wife Maria's death, Don Vito rules the city with a relentless grip, engaged in a bitter rivalry with Jorge Villa, the leader of The Villa Cartel. The two families, under the guise of neighboring Italian and Mexican restaurant owners, share a mutual loathing fueled by an annual bocce ball game with a grand prize of one million dollars.
Paul's exceptional bocce skills quickly catch Don Vito's attention, leading to an unexpected twist: he's coerced into representing the Rizzo family in the high-stakes game. As Isabella's boyfriend, Paul becomes the family's secret weapon, much to the fury of Jorge Villa. With tensions rising, Paul unwittingly finds himself in Villa's crosshairs as the cartel boss seeks vengeance at any cost.
Caught in a dangerous game of crime, passion, and bocce, Paul must navigate a treacherous world where loyalty, love, and survival are constantly at odds. This captivating story takes viewers on a thrilling ride, showcasing how an ordinary man's life can spiral into an extraordinary adventure, all sparked by a chance encounter and a shared love for a simple game.
