Just Pretend

DESCRIPTION
Shayla, a volunteer teacher in Botswana, learns the San Francisco candy company she inherited is bankrupt and she is desperate to help her employees, but she has no viable skills.

Larry, a New York computer geek, learns he is jobless due to the economy.

But then both learn a reality show called “JUST PRETEND,” set in 1860s Texas, promises a million dollars to one person who can detect a “fake” while not being detected themselves. Shayla pretends to be a nun, and Larry pretends to be a cowboy.

Both are determined to win the money—just as determined as Mort, perhaps an incompetent oaf, or maybe a dangerous villain.
