The story engine
She wrote the rules. He wrote them first.
The Wingwoman is an original NCCA feature in development: a fast, funny adult romance with an earned apology and a warm family center. Investor Herman Kaplan offers $14 million for Bekah Hargan’s company if her method creates a public love story in thirty days. Her test subject is the man whose college notebook her rules came from. In the tradition of Hitch, Set It Up, Always Be My Maybe, and Nobody Wants This.
“Can I come in?”
Passport structure
The elements that hold the title together.
01 / Lead
Bekah Hargan
She can sell certainty to a theater full of strangers. She cannot risk one honest sentence with Eli. Her arc runs from fear made profitable to asking out loud first.
02 / Lead
Eli Cohen
A rumpled history teacher and single dad to nine-year-old Sophie, and the unwitting author of Bekah’s rules. Mid-date, he drops her coaching earpiece into a water glass.
03 / Pressure
Thirty days, $14 million
Naomi, Eli’s sister and Bekah’s best friend, opens the door. Derek tells Bekah the truth without a script. Rival coach Chloe offers Eli a real alternative.
04 / Set pieces
Three trailer moments
The drowned earpiece. Fourteen million on fire at the Biltmore. One shoe in a rare Los Angeles rainstorm.
