STORYLINE: Adam crashes his car into Natalie’s car so he can meet her—in another long series of strange offenses committed by Adam. To keep Adam out of jail, Adam’s single mother Lil, and their attorney Greg show that Adam has no conscience. Though disturbed by Adam, Natalie arranges for her eccentric professor, Dr. Noah Carmoly, to try to fix Adam’s problem. They have one week before Adam is sent to a mental hospital indefinitely. Over the course of the week, and after interesting experiments with unlikely side effects, they finally learn that Adam actually does have a conscience…but it speaks to him in foreign language!

CHARACTERS:

ADAM O’DEA, 18. He is mentally 18, but socially and emotionally seven. He is nice, but completely unaware of social conventions. Open, honest, innocent. Never deceitful. There is no hatred or deep love in him. He is sincere but not sensitive. He feels no remorse for others’ pain. LEAD

NATALIE ENDICOTT, 21. A college student and very independent person and thinker. She is a bright, good-hearted girl. She is very thoughtful, kind and careful with her words. She listens well. She is extremely polite and considerate of others. LEAD

DR. NOAH CARMOLY, 45-55. A professor of psychology, biology and neurology. He is brilliant, and eccentric, but mostly mellow in his demeanor. He often over-thinks things. He is not easily excited. LEAD

LIL O’DEA, 40-55. Adam’s mother has been worn down by years of dealing with him. She is emotionally unstable and insecure of her decisions. Often nervous, but never timid. SUPPORTING

GREG, 35-45. An attorney who doesn’t care deeply for his clients or for money or for the work of being an attorney. He does it with intensity only because he’s not doing anything else, and that’s how he does it. SUPPORTING

JUDGE, 60-80. This judge has seen Adam nearly once a week since Adam was 12. He is tired of dealing with him, but knows him too well to be entirely insensitive to his plight. SUPPORTING
