After a series of unfortunate events, Malcolm is broke, unemployed, and Heartbroken and has decided to give up on his life but before it’s too late his guardian angel makes a deal that in three months he can show him the good in life but if he can’t Malcolm gets to give up.Screenwriting : The last chance by Jerrell Camper
