ACT 1: DISAPPEARANCE
Bob Walters, a world-famous but overweight chef, lives with his beautiful wife Athena. In 2005, while he caters an extravagant wedding, Athena goes missing during a shopping trip. LAPD Detective Chris investigates, but no real leads emerge. Everyone assumes she was kidnapped. Bob is devastated.

ACT 2: THE LOOKALIKE
Three years later in France, con artist Akira is arrested for forgery and impersonation. Retired Detective Chris spots her and realizes she looks exactly like Athena. He approaches her with an offer: impersonate Athena, return to Bob, and help him claim the $2 billion life insurance.
The plan? Fool Bob, kill him, and split the fortune 60/40—Chris gets the bigger share.
Akira agrees. Chris helps get her released and reunites her with Bob. She pretends to be the long-lost Athena, saying she was rescued from a human trafficking ring in Germany.
Bob is overjoyed. They return to the U.S., throw a party, and begin again.

ACT 3: THE HOUSE OF LIES
Bob is loving and gentle. Akira, expecting to fool and kill him, starts falling in love with him instead.
But Chris and Martin—the real Athena’s ex-lover—pressure her to continue the plan. Bob is hard to poison because he eats out often, so Akira tells Martin to cause a car accident instead.
But the twist: Martin dies in the crash.
Akira is shocked. Did Bob have something to do with it?
The next day, Chris visits Akira. “Sad about Martin,” he says, “but we still get the money. After Bob dies, we collect the insurance, and I’ll marry you. Then I’ll keep 100%.”
Akira is disturbed but pretends to agree.

ACT 4: THE DYING MAN
Later, Bob sits with Akira over coffee and tea. He tearfully confesses:
> “I have cancer in my intestines… maybe four months to live.”
He signs over all his property, businesses, and estate to her. Akira, overwhelmed, realizes she truly loves him now.
Chris, hearing the news, is thrilled—no need for murder now. He tells Akira:
> “After he dies, we’re rich. Then we get married. I’ll keep it all.”
Akira says nothing. She’s broken inside.

ACT 5: LAST SUPPER
Bob throws one final party, preparing a magnificent feast. Everyone is touched. The food is incredible.
Chris attends. Bob hugs him:
> “Thank you for always being there. Will you share one last beer with me?”
Chris agrees. They drink.
Two weeks later, Bob takes Akira to a remote cabin in the Florida woods.
He says:
> “This was our secret place. I’d come here when I was tired of the world.”
That night, after emotional intimacy, Bob surprises Akira:
> “Can we try BDSM tonight?”
She laughs. “Why not? I’m yours. Do anything you want.”
He smiles—cold, strange, eerie.
He ties her up with rope. Gags her with a leather ball.
Then the truth spills out.

ACT 6: THE FINAL COURSE
> “You’re not Athena,” Bob whispers. “I knew all along.”
He circles her slowly, knife in hand.
> “The real Athena… cheated on me with one of my students. I caught them. I tied them up, chopped them into pieces… and cooked them.”
Akira screams through the gag, eyes wide.
> “That wedding banquet? It wasn’t lamb. It was her. It was him. Served to the guests… and they loved it.”
He leans in, eyes burning.
> “Martin? That idiot? He never crashed. I killed him too. Stewed him. You loved the soup.”
> “And Chris? He had the beer. You didn’t taste it because of your tea. But trust me—he was delicious.”
Bob crouches close.
> “Now the question is... what should I do with you, Akira?”

FADE OUT.
