Finding Amanda (Rated R)
ACE Independent
Sponsored by ACE Films
Taylor Peters is the writer and producer for a low-rated, little-esteemed television sitcom. Surely he was made for better things, but his career track has hit a speed bump or two, his gambling, drug-use, and drinking. Taylor has "cleaned up" his act, now only betting on the horses. Without warning, Taylor and Lorraine, his wife, are beckoned to Lorraine's sister's house to handle a family issue, the discovery that Amanda, Taylor's niece, is working as a prostitute in Las Vegas. Durring the drive back home, Lorraine finds Taylor's racing stubs in the car and makes the decision to leave Taylor. Taylor formulates a plan: go to Las Vegas and rescue Amanda, thus winning back his wife. While in Vegas, Taylor promises himself that he won't gamble a single penny, but the best thought out plans don't always work out how we hope they will.
