The WaterÂ’s Edge


The WaterÂ’s Edge is full of suspense, murder, and romance. It is a high-concept action thriller geared toward an adult audience.

The WaterÂ’s Edge is where the answer to this mystery lies. Grace Wellington, a New York private investigator, takes a well-deserved cruise to the beautiful island of Antigua. While sunning on the deck of the ship, she overhears the threats of a madman. Tony Corrente wants his wife dead. How far will he go to make this a reality? How can she save Isabella CorrenteÂ’s life if she canÂ’t be found?

She teams up with Steele Foster, an attractive Australian bartender/writer. Together they try to stop this killer in his tracks. Grace finds she is in over her head when she is kidnapped in Antigua. Who will survive and who will end up on The WaterÂ’s Edge?

*Very cast-able – A number of actors could play this role

*ItÂ’s a character, men envy to be and women consider ideal

*The industry is largely white, male, heterosexual (which is why SteeleÂ’s role is also a lead character)





Actress – Isabella Corrente - Abused woman, low self esteem, wealthy, attractive

*Character is unfortunately someone that millions of women will relate to.

*Being wealthy shows the world that this is not a problem that generally a problem of those who are economically poor.

The director, actors wonÂ’t mind spending a year of their lives preparing and making this movie because unlike the audience they will be experiencing first hand the beautiful scenery, cruise ship and the fact that they were a part of a movie that touched a very sensitive issue, spousal abuse.
