takes that as a research study. She teams with Larson another
journalist on Sabbatical. After research and discussions Laura
and Larson discover an intriguing, important out-of-country
partner of the drug manufacturer. Some more investigation
reveals that the partner is a mailing address visited monthly by
a mysterious character. Laura feels she's followed and she
returns to her city where secretly contacts and meets Larson.
They get together at Larson's cottage and they formulate several
scenarios. The cottage lights go out. Next scene shows Laura and

Laura is a student in the 3rd year at Carleton U. She is bored
with her current
mundane assignments and craves more challenge. She is single,
living with her father.
She has an outgoing, inquisitive personality searching for the
spotlight. Despite her
easygoing personality, she experiences mood swings as a result
of self doubts.
She is at a crossroad in her quest for a suitable career and
more.
Larson: (male, Anglophone or Francophone-with good command of
English,
age 30-40ish, medium build) As an assistant professor at
the University he had a
spectacular career due to his hard work in the finance domain. A
little bit geeky he is
almost stereotypical academic career type. He is not feeling
out-of place and he's satisfied
with his current situation. He took a one year sabbatical to
finish his financial-related
work. He's a more reserved, balanced and distant personality
type.
Laura's Father ((male, Anglophone or Francophone-with good
command of English,
age 50ish) Fatherly kind of personality. He lost his wife
due to illness and Laura is his
only child. He's interested in her career and he's accustomed to
her personality. He was
hoping Laura will follow Law but he is supportive and
understanding with her current path.
He is secretly hoping it's just a temporary situation.
