Soap Opera Web Series

"Map of the World" is the name of an innovative new Internet soap opera blog series concept.

***

The stories are set in a majestic town called Foxport, a gated utopia located in a top-secret location somewhere on earth...

Foxport's rich history is complex. It was discovered by a sea explorer during the Age of Discovery. Queen Elizabeth made it her personal, secret colony and vowed that it should never be listed on a world map. Over the years, Foxport slowly became a 'model society', no longer just the Queen's vacation spot. It developed a diverse and rich culture that remains to this day....

Today, much of the action that happens in Foxport, takes place in a small artistic community called Fox Village, home to a wide array of characters. It is also where many of the fashionable younger people in Foxport live and socialize.

Your secret is safe.

Backstory

***

The world is captivated.

Tracy Cinte, popular magazine cover model and the beautiful daughter of a high profile international businessman, has gone missing from a posh Brazilian hotel resort suite following her glamorous beachfront wedding. Security camera footage from the hotel lobby, suggests that she may have been kidnapped...

Shortly after, police confirm that they are dealing with a violent kidnapping after articles of clothing that Tracy was wearing have been found in a trail leading away from the hotel crime scene. Unexpectedly, the apparent kidnappers release two short video clips to a local news station. The videos show Tracy in a dark basement, seated in a chair, bound and gaged, horrified and seemingly unaware that she's being videotaped or who her captors are. Four hours later, investigators post a $12,000,000 cash reward from an anonymous source, to anyone with information leading to the return of the now named "Billion Dollar Bride".

Two weeks pass. Nothing.

Then, an international press conference is called to announce an update on the case. At the conference, George, Tracy's father, tearfully steps forward to reveal the intense search has proved unsuccessful and has officially been called off. The kidnapping, he suspects, might be connected to someone in the business world who has decided to exact revenge on him. He states that he has lost all hope of his daughter ever being found and thanks the public for their compassion and out pours of support...

But, Tracy Cinte is not dead! We, the audience, learn that she has really moved to the secret hideaway for the rich and famous: Foxport.

Her powerful father and the media have plotted and staged her death...

"Who's There?"

Very early morning. Trevor stands in his bathroom mirror, daydreaming... Tracy and himself are having dinner in a busy, chaotic New York-style rooftop restaurant overlooking the skyline. Tracy is suggestively reading from a book-

"Trevor?"

Trevor snaps out of it. When he opens his eyes, he is with-

Tracy, eating brunch at Dunlee's place. Then suddenly, Tracy receives a phone call from her father, George, who informs her in detail the press coverage following his speech to the media about the "kidnapping". He says that everything played out "without a hitch", and that no one at the meeting asked a question that he was not able to answer readily. Still on the phone, Tracy candidly tells her father that although she really enjoys her new life in Foxport, and is glad he has suggested her moving there as the only real way that she was ever going to live a normal life, she's not at all that keen on lying to the entire world. George empathizes with her and he promises that things will change over time. As she hangs up, apologizing to Trevor for the interruption, a mysterious young man across the street in a clothing store window snaps a B & W photo of Tracy from behind a ghost white partially dressed mannequin. Obviously unaware that she and Trevor are both being watched, Tracy playfully kisses Trevor-- just as the mystery photographer snaps another photo...

Later on, Carey arrives back from her 6 month vacation in Guadeloupe, not surprised to find her house empty; she had given the couple visiting prior notice of her return. After heading upstairs to the bedroom with her luggage, she is surprised when on her way back downstairs she hears what sound like soft whimpering noises coming from behind the door of her stepdaughter Samantha's old bedroom- but Samantha is away on business in Holland... Could it be Jason? No, Jason would have phoned and Carey wasn't expecting anyone.... Who else was in the house?! She began to panic...
