| Title: | 40 ELEPHANTS |
| Logline: | After leaving her fiancé, a naïve woman joins an all-female gang of thieves led by the daughter of a ruthless ringleader in 1920s London, aspiring to reinvent herself and help earn the seductive independence women briefly glimpsed during World War I. |
| Pitch: | PEAKY BLINDERS meets THE CATCH |
| Writer: | E.S. Dahl & Kay Tuxford |
| Genre: | Crime | Drama |
| Why to Read: | A smart, fun, and female driven gangster drama that mixes all the energy of heist films like OCEAN’S 11 with the period drama, violence, and intrigue of PEAKY BLINDERS. An easy fit for cable, premium, or pay, but could also be a strong contender for a broadcast outlet looking to make a mark. Exceptional characters play over a fresh backdrop, with themes blending between tried and true gangster stories, sexism, confidence, and the belief that everyone deserves a shot at their dreams… even if their dreams are a life of crime. |
