Synopsis: Cry U.N.C.L.E.
Two lifelong girlfriends find their childhood game of playing spies from a 60's TV show becomes all too real when they attend their 30th high school reunion and are recruited by the same organization to thwart a former schoolmate’s plan for worldwide domination.
Excerpt: Cry U.N.C.L.E.
Melanie leaned against the cold concrete wall and wiped the soot from her forehead with her shirt sleeve. The dampness in the cramped space had turned her wavy blond hair into a wild frizzy rat’s nest. Every muscle in her almost fifty-year-old body was on fire from her thwarted attempts to break out of their prison.
Exhausted, she closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths and mentally began replaying the events of the past few weeks which had led her fellow incarcerates into the dark hole from which there seemed to be no escape. Although their individual lives had taken them on very diverse paths, they all shared the unfortunate common denominators of possessing a diploma from Abbeyville High School and being caught in the insidious web of Wyatt Gaynes.
When the undercover agents first approached Melanie and Kathleen the night of their 30th high school reunion party, the women could never have imagined that the innocent television spy show game they had played against Eric and Charles nearly four decades ago, would become a real life confrontation with one of the most sadistic criminal minds of their generation.
