The Gepetto Protocol
PRICE: Negotiable
GENRE: Family
LOGLINE: To stay "real" in the real world after their last creator dies, an action figure, fashion doll, superhero, anime girl, and crash dummy—now real flesh and blood—must find new believers in 10 days or be forgotten forever, and find help from two kids and their dad at a comic-con.
SYNOPSIS:
What happens when the magic runs out?
Five pop culture character are about to find out.
Colonel Max "Shredder" Schroeder is a soldier's soldier, a man of action and military savvy. He awakes in a field after his last mission with one thing on his mind: his next mission. Following the voice in his head (or chest), he collects his new team, made up of Bobbie, Widow, Suzuka, and Crash. Max is disappointed his new team is not soldiers, but off they go in Bobbie's "self-driving" Jeep.
Five hundred miles later, after one name change, a biker bar fight, and one unpaid motel night settled with a wounded ego, the team drifts to a Chicago comic-con—and fit right in with the cosplayers. It's here that battle-worn action figure Max, stunning beauty fashion doll Bobbie, svelte diva superheroine Widow, anime girl Suzuka-chan, and prototype crash dummy Crash/Gears learn the truth about their new lives when they meet James and his kids. James is the grandson of Steven Lan—action figure Max Schroeder's creator.
And Max has the dog tags to prove it.
The truth?
None of them are real.
They're concepts. None of them made it off the storyboards and sketchbooks. They have, however, become real enough to their now-gone creators to enact THE GEPETTO PROTOCOL—the short amount of time they have to find new fans to reestablish belief in them after their last creator dies, enabling them to stay real flesh and blood. James and his kids, Cammie and Jimmy, have ten days—now down to three days—to help Max and his team become real enough for the real world.
And the clock is ticking.
At its heart, this is a story about friendship, persistence, and acceptance.
