Zero Sum Coast™

"Every move reveals a truth. Every truth destroys the board." A Balkan Rummikub game fractures into memory, addiction, and inherited trauma.

A visceral, art-house limited series concept (5 x 45 minutes), Zero Sum Coast™ reframes Rummikub not as metaphor but as the ruthless driver of plot and revelation. Set in Montenegro’s decaying seaside, the story unfolds between an exiled architect, his estranged niece, and a Joker-like underworld figure, where every game tile forces a truth into the open—and each truth shatters another carefully built lie. This downloadable pitch deck delivers a fully realized series bible: executive summary, narrative engine, setpieces, character grid, visual leitmotifs, risks/mitigations, and expansion roadmap into The Game Anthology. Built for producers, readers, and developers seeking a prestige-tier property with international reach, cinematic duality, and a ruthless thematic hook.
