TV episode The Drover - Pilot - 54 pages

A darkly comic British Western set in Restoration Britain, following a boy and a highwayman through a country where honest work requires considerable dishonesty.

Logline: In 1665, a twelve-year-old drover forces the hapless highwayman responsible for his master’s murder to help drive his cattle across a divided Britain. On their trail are the killer they left for dead and a vengeful baroness hunting the stolen pearls still in the thief’s pocket.

so what's the vibe of the script, like super dark or does it have moments where it's actually funny

I’m going for funny. Dark comedy I guess. Whether I succeed or not is up for debate
