The Nest Egg
In Development
A con, a robbery, a sting - whatever it takes to get justice!
The ladies from Baxter’s Egg & Poultry are partying – their friend and colleague, Angela Pennyweighter, is retiring with her seriously ill wife, Karen, and they plan to live out however long they have left together in the warm Portuguese sun. But when the giant American egg company Royce Egg & Poultry buys up Baxter’s Eggs as part of their push into the Oceanian egg market, Angie’s pension is unceremoniously flushed.
Royce Egg & Poultry has a company mascot - a beautiful priceless Imperial Fabergé Egg, THE NEST EGG and they have plans to exhibit it in museums across the Southern Hemisphere. But when Angie and her friends hear about this, they cannot help but feel that this priceless bejewelled egg is really… when you think about it… after all that’s happened… sort of… kind of… theirs!
The ladies come together and devise a brilliant and cunning plan to steal THE NEST EGG and save Angie and Karen’s retirement.
Working on the plan brings them all even closer together and deepens their already strong relationships. They become much more than just good friends – but are they good thieves? Can they pull this off, bring justice to Baxter’s Egg & Poultry and get Angela and Karen safely to Portugal where they belong?
