Welcome to Story Break, a Writers Room podcast where three Hollywood professionals write an entire movie,

scene by scene, page by page, one hour at a time.

I'm Will Campos screenwriter flying solo today as the story boys are still scattered

to the winds for the holiday season but

don't fret we've got a special treat for all of you today starting next week we are

going to be diving back in on Heaven Heist the gripping tale of a crew of criminals robbing the Celestial

Vault of Heaven. And to get everybody back up to speed, we've cut together a recap

of the story so far. What you're about to hear is the entire first act of Heaven Hiced.

The whole script read by us as we were doing every

week as the show was going on during the course of us writing it last year. We've

taken all those scenes, we put them all together and I gotta say it's pretty cool.

It's like listening to like the first act of a really thrilling audio drama. So sit back, relax, open the theater of the mind, the imagination, and let Heaven

Heist steal you away. Exterior Shrine Day, a well-worn statue of Kaishan, the Chinese god of wealth and prosperity,

sits in a shrine and a public park overlooking Kowloon Bay.

Atopist Tiger, wielding a golden rod, Kaishan smiles up through a big bushy mustache as two adorable children Keith and

Julia kneel before the shrine hands clasped around burning incense sticks as they offer a

prayer.

Dear Chaishen, please bring wealth and prosperity to mommy and daddy's new restaurant.

They work so hard and we just want them to be happy again.

As they pray a shadow falls over them as four ominous figures and cool suits step up to the

shrine. Tequila, a gruff, burly gangster, grabs the kids by the scruff and shoves them away from the

shrine.
