An Anthology Series

An exploration of how a scandal can spread through the workplace and that fallout that stems from it.

THE RUMOUR

STORY OUTLINE

Liv works as a salesperson at a large tech store. One day, she's called into the manager's office and is told that the store manager, a man she's worked with for the past three years, no longer works with the company. She's not allowed to ask any questions and is asked to not spread any rumours about the situation.

Liv immediately starts trying to figure out what the hell happened. She asks her coworkers and people she knows from other stores in a desperate attempt to find out the truth. Eventually, she gets it. The truth is a scandal that sees multiple leave the company or be fired, and the entire dynamic of her work change.

An Exploration of Deceit

The show is pitched as an anthology series. Where the first episode follows Liv and her story in a lighthearted manor, the following episodes would centre on different characters in the story, progressively becoming darker as the show continues. It would be an exploration of how rumours spread and the damage they can cause.
