MLH: Great Novel as TV Masterpiece

-- What is MLH?  Everything.
-- I'm sure everyone has at one time in their life said to themselves: Wouldn't it be great if someone could write the great American novel in the format of a weekly television program.  Come on, admit it.
-- Well wait no more.

-- Here's the one run-on sentence pitch via semicolon: a bad scene goes down in Rockland, Maine involving an infamous love triangle, and a more infamous drug bust; an interloper gets the story, and writes a novel based on the mess; as sometimes happens people want to make a movie out of it; and so one cast of characters, a ragtag group of entertainment people come to the wild rural world to tell the story; unfortunately for them and their production, a second cast, the locals who lived the story, are waiting for them: it's akin to going to a party and playing charades with the host's most embarrassing moments; hilarity, violence, love, sex, and other things people like ensue.
-- Comedy of errors: Here are wild characters twinned to each other amidst the chaos; you have Character A; then the version of A from that novel, call B; then the actor or actress in town now playing a third version, C.  And there's some scary A's very unhappy about the Bs and Cs.
-- Imagine an actor playing a lobsterman doing his character work in the tavern where the man who his character is based on looks up from his ninth Miller High Life and sees Billy Method-Actor playing tough guy: Uh Oh.
--  Cast of Characters?
-- A legendary novelist recluse, his former protege and lover who has now eclipsed him, a brawling lobsterman, a famous actress, a washed up auteur, a drug smuggling Indian, a charming but desperate producer, a conniving boy genius, the coolest car in the world,  and quite possibly the hero or the villian of the saga (depending on your perspective) a down on his luck, well past his prime, pizza delivery boy.
-- You should read this.  If nothing else, I'm an uneducated construction worker: if any of you really cared about art you'd lend your support to a sad sack like me, read my entire script, and click on my Amazon ads so they'll give me tchotchkes.
