Story treatment for a screenplay by Laurie Lamson; concept by Mark Jacobs One Line Two formerly successful businessmen find themselves homeless in an alley and compare stories, only to discover that each contributed to the other's business failure. Synopsis A businessman's office faces an alley that goes on and on the length of several city blocks. He overhears what he thinks at first are two savvy businessmen talking. His is the window into their lives today in 1999. Actually they are two lonely men hanging out with nowhere else to go. They are recently homeless - Digger is a short 30-something with a paunch, a scruffy beard and dirty hair. But he also has lifts in his fancy shoes and one colored contact lens - he is combing the alley for the missing lens. Rudolfo's obviously been through the ringer both physically and emotionally, but he is still a good-looking lanky black man who wears custom-fitted slacks and two hundred dollar sneakers - both with stains and a few spots worn through. He pushes a shopping cart loaded with used clothes and bottles.
