Retail Therapy



A comedy by Julia Camara

Logline: An ad executive goes to great lengths to keep her shopping addiction secret. When she’s caught shopping by her husband and family she’ll have to go to rehab.

Synopsis:

Shopping is Holly’s life, fashion her religion. After many failed attempts at quitting her debt accruing habit, she decides it's just easier to keep it a secret from her loved ones. When her nosy neighbor Arlene discovers her hiding place for her goods, a hidden storage unit, Holly jumps through hoops to keep her quiet until she can jump no longer. As Arlene blows the whistle Holly is forced to sell her designer clothes and agrees to rehab. In rehab she meets Demetria, a kindred spirit with as much love for retail as Holly. They join forces the moment they get out. Together they are unstoppable.
