The Complete Urban CEO Collection: 5 Scripts + Production Toolkit

The complete Urban & CEO collection: all five scripts in the series plus an exclusive fifth script and a full production toolkit, at the best possible value.

Script 1: The Janitor Owns the Tower

Logline. The night janitor everyone at Merrick Tower ignores is the anonymous majority shareholder who bought the company to find out which of his executives destroyed his late father’s firm.

Format. 74 episodes × 90 sec vertical · approx 111 minutes of total runtime.

The premise.

• Danny Halloran owns 61 percent of Merrick through a blind trust nobody has ever met.
• The four executives who broke his father now run Merrick: CEO, CFO, general counsel and head of security.
• He needs proof of the original fraud before the statute window closes in eight months.
• The proof was never digitized. It exists on paper, in the tower, somewhere in forty floors of locked history.
• By day the board hunts their absentee majority owner. By night the owner mops their floors.

Main characters.

• Danny Halloran — M, 34, night janitor and majority shareholder. Grew up watching his father shrink at kitchen tables with lawyers. Built and sold a salvage-logistics platform, then spent everything buying the scene of the crime. Methodical, unhurried, keeps his rage in a maintenance log. The coveralls are not a disguise; they are the most honest clothes he has ever worn. Want: Documentary proof of the 2006 fraud before the statute closes. Need: To bury his father with the record corrected, and then to stop living in 2006..
• Vivian Cross — F, 52, CEO of Merrick. The most talented of the original four and the one who signed nothing. Runs Merrick brilliantly. Has spent twenty years being one document away from untouchable, and knows exactly which document. Want: To find and neutralize the anonymous shareholder before he moves. Need: Nothing she would admit; her arc is the slow realization of exactly who has been watching her..
• Marcus Wilde — M, 55, CFO. The one who kept a copy of everything, out of cowardice disguised as prudence. His private archive is the season’s grail, and his nightly habit of working late is Danny’s way in. Want: Insurance against Vivian, forever. Need: To be caught, which he half-arranges without admitting it..
• Renata Okafor — F, 29, junior analyst. The only person in the tower who talks to the night janitor like a person. Brilliant, stalled, and quietly investigating the same 2006 anomalies from the inside because the numbers in the legacy ledgers never added up. Want: One honest promotion. Need: An ally, which she finds in the least credentialed man in the building..
• Gil Norris — M, 58, head of security. The fourth conspirator and the only one who came from nothing, like Danny. Runs the tower’s cameras, which means he is the only person who ever really looks at the janitor. Want: To retire clean in nine months. Need: To decide, once, to be on the right side..

Structure. Act 1 (1-24): Night Shift; Act 2 (25-54): Two Hunts; Act 3 (55-74): Day Shift

Sample hook. Ep 1-5 — Coveralls: A janitor starts nights at Merrick Tower and does his job flawlessly. In a maintenance-room locker: a shareholder certificate and a 2006 newspaper.

Script 2: Fired by Text, Hired by Fate

Logline. An operations manager fired by text on her wedding anniversary is headhunted the same week by her old company’s biggest rival, and discovers her first assignment is the merger that will decide her ex-employer’s fate.

Format. 70 episodes × 90 sec vertical · approx 105 minutes of total runtime.

The premise.

• Dahlia was the invisible spine of Corvin: when she left, three systems began failing in ways nobody could diagnose.
• Atlas hired her for exactly that knowledge, and its leadership is honest about it, which she finds refreshing and suspicious.
• The integration gives her authority over the people who fired her, including the man who sent the text.
• Her rule: every decision defensible on paper. No revenge she could not present to an auditor.
• Corvin’s hidden rot goes deeper than her firing: the new management has been dressing the books for the sale.

Main characters.

• Dahlia Reyes — F, 38, integration director. Nine years of unglamorous excellence, fired in nineteen words including the automatic signature. Rebuilt herself in eleven days because the alternative was the couch. Carries the termination text in her phone, unread receipts on, like a stone in a pocket. Want: To run the cleanest integration in Atlas history, with her old tormentors judged by their own numbers. Need: To stop auditioning for people who already discarded her..
• Weston Boyd — M, 44, Corvin’s new CEO. The man who sent the text. A turnaround artist whose turnarounds are cosmetic: cut deep, paint the numbers, sell before the paint dries. Charming in exactly the way that reads as leadership to boards and as danger to staff. Want: Close the sale before anyone opens the maintenance ledgers. Need: Irrelevant; he is the bill coming due..
• Imogen Tate — F, 51, Atlas Group president. Hired Dahlia in one meeting after reading a single incident report she had written. Runs Atlas on the theory that the best asset in any acquisition is the person the target undervalued most. Want: Corvin’s network, clean, at the agreed price. Need: To be right about Dahlia in front of a board that called the hire sentimental..
• Ozzie Park — M, 33, Corvin dispatch supervisor. Dahlia’s former protege, the one who did not speak up when she was fired, and has been ashamed for every day since. Knows the freight campus like a body knows its own hands, and knows exactly which numbers changed after she left. Want: To keep his crews employed through the merger. Need: To earn back the person whose silence-shaped hole he has been working in..
• Priya Nair — F, 41, Corvin CFO. Arrived with Boyd, cooked what he asked her to cook, and has been quietly building an exit file because she has done this before and knows how it ends. The season’s swing piece. Want: Out, with immunity and her license. Need: To hand the file to the right person, which is not the same as the safest person..

Structure. Act 1 (1-22): The Text and the Badge; Act 2 (23-52): Two Sets of Books; Act 3 (53-70): The Clean Close

Sample hook. Ep 1-4 — Nineteen words: Anniversary cake, a lit phone, and a career ending in a text with an automatic signature.

Script 3: The Ghost Partner

Logline. A bankrupt restaurateur discovers the silent investor who saved her twelve years ago and vanished is the reclusive billionaire now buying up her whole street to demolish it, and neither can admit they recognize the other.

Format. 84 episodes × 95 sec vertical · approx 133 minutes of total runtime.

The premise.

• The napkin investor saved the noodle bar and vanished; Etta has cooked for his ghost for twelve years, keeping one table open at closing.
• Simon Hollis built an empire on never being sentimental, with exactly one exception he has audited annually from a distance.
• The tower project predates his knowledge that her street was in the footprint; by the time he saw the map, the financing was locked.
• Her block’s holdout campaign makes her the public face of resistance to his signature project.
• Neither will say the word napkin. The whole show lives inside that refusal.

Main characters.

• Etta Vasquez — F, 39, chef-owner of the Lantern Noodle House. Took over her father’s failing bar at 27, was saved by a stranger’s money at the bottom, and turned it into the street’s heart through twelve years of five-am markets and open-late kindness. Feeds striking workers, laid-off suits and one empty table nobody is allowed to sit at. Want: Save the street: every lease, every neighbor, not just her own walls. Need: To stop cooking for a ghost and find out what the real man is..
• Simon Hollis — M, 45, founder of Hollis Development. Grew up over a failing shop, watched his parents lose everything to a redevelopment, and became the thing that ate his childhood, on the theory that the eater is safer than the eaten. The napkin was the one time he acted like the boy instead of the empire, and he has never dared repeat it. Want: The tower closed and financed: it is his legacy project and his company’s survival in one. Need: To find out whether the boy who wrote the napkin still exists, and whether she would like him..
• Bao Nguyen — M, 67, hardware store owner and street elder. The block’s memory and Etta’s surrogate father. Remembers a young man who used to eat at the noodle bar’s counter in the bad years, always alone, always cash. Want: To die behind his own counter, decades from now. Need: To hand the street’s fight to the next generation without seeing it lose..
• Corinne Zhao — F, 36, Hollis Development CFO. Simon’s most trusted executive, who has never once seen him make an irrational call, and is watching him quietly sabotage his own project one variance at a time. Starts investigating the anomaly and finds a twelve-year trail of anonymous audits of one noodle house. Want: Close the assembly on schedule; protect the company from whatever is happening to Simon. Need: To learn that her mentor’s flaw is the best thing about him..
• Rafa Vasquez — M, 24, Etta’s nephew and sous-chef. The next generation: wants Etta to take a buyout and open somewhere new, because he sees what the fight costs her nightly. Films the street’s story for the campaign and accidentally becomes its viral spokesman. Want: His aunt free of the ghost table and the fourteen-hour days. Need: To understand what the street means before he speaks for it..

Structure. Act 1 (1-26): The Penthouse and the Pass; Act 2 (27-58): The Long Negotiation; Act 3 (59-84): The Napkin

Sample hook. Ep 1-8 — The stranger upstairs: Petition in hand, Etta forces a meeting with the developer erasing her street, and the ghost of twelve years is wearing his name on the door.

Script 4: Heir in the Mailroom

Logline. To inherit the conglomerate, the founder’s secret granddaughter must survive one year inside it under a false name, judged by a dead man’s checklist she has never seen, while the board hunts the unknown heir they know only exists.

Format. 80 episodes × 95 sec vertical · approx 127 minutes of total runtime.

The premise.

• The will’s public version freezes control with the executor for one year; the private version names a test and an unnamed heir.
• Juno enters as a mailroom temp under the name Juno Cale; only the executor knows her face.
• The checklist has ten items; the audience learns them one at a time as the executor grades her, always after the fact.
• The three siblings, denied the company, are owed enormous cash settlements if no heir qualifies: their incentive is disqualification, not murder.
• Grandfather’s letters to her late mother, found in the estate, become Juno’s only guide to the man who is testing her from the grave.

Main characters.

• Juno Cale / Juno Ambrose-Reyes — F, 26, mailroom temp and secret heir. Raised by a single mother who never explained the monthly envelopes or the man in one photograph. Worked since fifteen: kitchens, warehouses, night dispatch. Enters the tower owing nothing to anyone in it, which turns out to be the exact quality the old man was screening for. Want: Initially just the truth about her mother’s history; the company becomes wantable only as she understands what it does to people. Need: To choose the inheritance as herself, not audition for it as someone else..
• Elias Wren — M, 71, executor and the founder’s oldest friend. The only living person who knew about the first love, the daughter, and the granddaughter. Grades the checklist nightly in a leather book, in a hand shaking more each month, because he is also dying, on a schedule shorter than the test. Want: To finish his friend’s last piece of work correctly. Need: To be forgiven for the role he played fifty years ago in the arranged separation..
• Cordelia Ambrose — F, 52, eldest child, head of corporate strategy. The competent one, denied the crown for reasons her father took to his grave, and the audience slowly learns them. Hunts the heir with data: hiring patterns, anomaly reports, badge analytics. Want: The settlement, then the company via the settlement’s leverage. Need: To learn the reason she was passed over, which the checklist eventually reveals to her too..
• Tobias Ambrose — M, 48, middle child, head of brand. The charming one: funds gossip networks, throws parties, hunts the heir socially. Believes he can find the impostor because impostors perform, and he is the family’s leading expert on performing. Want: The settlement, fame, and to never be tested again. Need: Irrelevant until the finale, when it suddenly is not..
• Mabel Ostrander — F, 58, mailroom supervisor. Thirty years in the tower’s basement; knows every floor’s secrets by what they discard. Becomes Juno’s first real teacher and the checklist’s unwitting proctor: half the graded moments happen on Mabel’s watch. Want: Her people treated properly and the mail moved by 10am. Need: Nothing; she is the show’s one whole person..

Structure. Act 1 (1-26): The Mailroom Year Begins; Act 2 (27-58): The Hunt Tightens; Act 3 (59-80): The Counter-Checklist

Script 5: The Closing Date

Logline. A vulture-fund deal closer arrives to quietly swallow a beloved family factory under a shell, only to find the plant’s stubborn COO is the man whose proposal she walked away from a decade ago, and the real buyer hiding behind her fund is his own estranged father.

Format. 80 episodes × 90 sec vertical · approx 120 minutes of total runtime.

The premise.

• Hartnell and Sons is eleven weeks from a loan covenant that forces liquidation.
• Lena embeds under the shell ‘Cedar Point Advisors’ to prep the plant for a ‘strategic buyer,’ meaning Mercer Vantage’s breakup.
• Theo Hartnell runs the plant and has a quiet turnaround plan the fund’s model scores as a guaranteed loss.
• Theo is the man Lena left at a courthouse a decade ago; she took Mercer’s offer the morning they were to marry.
• The ‘strategic buyer’ is Conrad Hartnell, Theo’s father, who abandoned the family and now wants the name erased.
• Lena finds the buyer’s identity in a redlined memo and realizes she is the weapon in a patricide.

Main characters.

• Lena Massey — F, 34, Mercer Vantage deal closer, under cover as ‘Cedar Point consultant’. The best closer the fund has, which means the best at telling towns a plant is fine right before it is dismantled. Grew up poor in this town, left it the day she left Theo, and built a life on not looking back. Under the consultant’s blazer she still knows every machine on the floor by sound. Want: Close Hartnell cleanly and earn the partner track Mercer promised her. Need: To stop mistaking survival for living, and to look Theo in the face before the plant does..
• Theo Hartnell — M, 36, COO of Hartnell and Sons. Runs the plant his great-grandfather founded. Theo is the kind of engineer who can hear a bearing fail from across the bay. He married the factory after Lena left; it is the only thing that stayed. Still keeps the courthouse cufflinks in his desk, unworn. Want: Keep Hartnell open and keep his people employed through the covenant. Need: To stop waiting for the woman who left, and to forgive the father who did..
• Conrad Hartnell — M, 64, estranged father, the hidden buyer. Built Hartnell into a name, then walked when the boy was born and the money got complicated. Now owns the shell buying it back. Charming, polished, and incapable of seeing the town as people. The season’s cold engine. Want: Acquire Hartnell, liquidate the assets, and retire the name with no loose ends. Need: A son, which he will never admit wanting..
• Mara Quinn — F, 41, floor supervisor. The plant’s memory. Started at eighteen, knows every hire and every grudge. The first to sense the consultant is not what she claims. Theo’s rock and the town’s conscience. Want: Her people kept on the floor, not in a parking lot with a box. Need: To believe the plant can be saved by someone who stayed..
• Dev Okonkwo — M, 30, Mercer analyst ‘supporting’ Lena. Bright, by-the-book, assigned to Lena to keep her on the fund’s line. Slowly realizes the ‘loss’ the model predicts is engineered. The audience’s spy inside Mercer. Want: A clean file and a promotion. Need: A reason to believe the work means something..

Structure. Act 1 (1-26): The Consultant; Act 2 (27-58): The Buyer; Act 3 (59-80): The Name

Sample hook. Ep 1-5 — The new consultant: A polished consultant arrives at a doomed plant and wins the floor’s trust in an afternoon.
