SYNOPSIS:

Patrick contemplates ending his life after a tragedy in which he feels responsible for. When going through with it proves to be more difficult than he expected he is forced to rethink his decision.

'Detroit' is not only a story of love, loss and hope, but a story of the tragic decline of one the greatest cities of North America. The film juxtaposes the beautiful images of Detroit against the characters story, childhood home videos and personal photographs.

7 BREAKDOWNS:

1. Female / 51-60 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. MOTHER between 45-55: A 50 year old mother to our main character, Patrick. She is a supporting and loving mother, but has never had the means to really give child and family what they need. Ability to cry on cue a definite asset.

2. Male / 31-40 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. DARRYL between 30-45: A 38 year old male who is the sole proprietor of a gun and ammunition store in Michigan. Darryl loves his guns and knows them well. Darryl is working at the gun store when Patrick arrives and tries to aid Patrick in his tough decision. Darryl would be described as bald or balding and husky in size, but interpretations of the look of this character are welcome.

3. Male / 31-40 yrs. / Any Ethnicity. TERRY between 32-40: A 30-40 year that is stereotyped as a hippie. Terry is wise with his words yet very laid back and calm. Terry enters the story as a transient at a motel who helps Patrick find his way.
