Tom, Dick and Harriet

In the sleek yet cut‑throat world of Madison Avenue, corporate banners flash and ideas are measured in clicks and awards. A looming merger has shaken the foundations of a once‑solid ad agency, leaving its seasoned creatives to wonder whether their polished pitches can survive the next wave of tech‑driven ambition. The atmosphere crackles with a blend of polished humour and quiet desperation, a place where talent is prized but relevance is constantly interrogated.

Tom is a veteran copywriter who has spent years perfecting the 30‑second spot, earning accolades while quietly shouldering the responsibilities of fatherhood. When the office doors close behind him, he confronts the unsettling reality of an industry that suddenly feels too young, too fast, and too unforgiving. His pragmatic instincts clash with a lingering doubt about his own adaptability, setting the stage for a personal quest that’s as much about reclaiming professional pride as it is about redefining his role as a parent.

Enter Dick, a quick‑witted drifter whose street‑savvy charm masks a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities. Charismatic and restless, he offers Tom a daring alternative to the traditional job hunt, suggesting that the old guard might still have a place in the modern advertising battlefield if they’re willing to bend the rules a little. Their unlikely partnership teeters between mentorship and mutual exploitation, hinting at the fragile bridge between experience and youthful improvisation.

Across the open‑plan office, Harriet moves with a quiet intensity, her artistic vision tempered by a guarded heart. She embodies the new generation of creatives—ambitious, slightly wary of commitment, and keenly aware of the industry’s shifting power dynamics. As Tom and Dick navigate the maze of pitches and boardroom politics, Harriet becomes an intriguing catalyst, her presence promising both tension and possibility in a world where honesty, ambition, and connection are constantly tested.
