Title: Do or Die
Logline: A game of chess will end in one of two ways: victory or death.
3 Act Structure:
Act 1: Maia, Amity, and Chester have been kidnapped and are told to play a game of wizard's chess to escape. The test of skill and intelligence stumps them and they rely on the strategic nature of Maia to dictate their plays.
Act 2: Maia thinks of the fastest, most effective game possible and orders the pieces around. Suddenly, she realizes that there is a way to win, but it requires a sacrifice. This means she never knows if she will make it out alive.
Act 3: Hoping to at least save her friends, Maia narrates her plan. Chester and Amity are reluctant to follow at first, but Maia assures them that she will survive, even though she herself is unsure. She moves her piece to sacrifice and it knocks her off and unconscious. Chester and Amity finish the game, achieving a win and securing their release. They are free at last! Or are they....?
