FUCKING BURNOUT

10x30' renewable series, in development

Stéphane is well into his forties when he takes his first sick leave. Burnout. But the only thing he’s ever known how to do is work. Lost and restless, this brilliant senior engineering exec suddenly finds himself alone in his rapidly gentrifying suburban neighborhood. His plan to get back to work ASAP hits a snag when a package shows up on his doorstep: Vanille, a scrappy pitbull puppy who destroys his perfectly scheduled life and drags him into contact with people he never should’ve spoken to in the first place. Like Fab, a Gen Z community manager, with whom Stéphane stumbles into a side hustle selling medicinal drugs. As their little operation becomes the neighborhood’s go-to source, Stéphane finds himself clashing with the big players—and forgetting he’s supposed to be recovering. What he doesn’t realize is that when the ride ends, he’s still expected to go back to work.
