Mrs. Peete

Meet Ed Ward, a mildly schizophrenic telemarketer who dreams of becoming a Hollywood screenwriter even though he's never written a single page. Ed's life takes a dramatic turn when he starts a new job, falls in love with a coworker and discovers the case of Louise Peete, the twice convicted murderess and first woman ever to die in San Quentin's gas chamber. When Mrs. Peete shows up at the new gig, Ed fears he's losing his mind. But the fun's only just starting. Characters from both murder trials begin visiting Ed on a daily basis, imploring him to write their story for the screen. To save his sanity--he does. (Screenplay Format)
