SERIES CONCEPT
The action takes place on glamorous Salt Rock Key, Florida, a playground for the rich and infamous. Casino gamblers, Secret Service agents, rock stars, even US military staff and drag queens may find themselves dealing with errant, runaway kites or would-be cannibals.
When the local manager is committed to an asylum BEST Rent-A-Car must replace him with one of the quirky bunch of misfits that drove him crazy to begin with “because that’s corporate policy.” BURKE, the Regional Manager, jets down from Miami and offers the position to ANDI, the mechanic, who is the only person he can trust. When she refuses the job, he is stuck choosing between ANTHONY, the self-proclaimed ladies man “sexual harassment suit looking for a place to happen," MARISSA, who “has the IQ of a pop-tart,” CAPRI, an imperialistic self-centered drama queen from somewhere in Europe, and JACK, the ex-French-fry taste tester beach bum who never really grew up. A hasty coin flip places Jack in charge.
This completely infuriates Capri, who expected to become the manager due to her ten years of service. So working for Jack, being her nemesis, is simply degrading. In her job checking out cars at the kiosk she schemes to put BEST out of business by opening a moped rental (while she is still working for BEST). Once discovered, she alters her get-rich-quick idea every week. Sometimes, she is running a buffet, or a wine tasting, or selling Halloween pumpkins. Her best friend is Marissa.
Marissa and her father, THOMPSON, are Seminole Indians. Thompson owns the local casino, the hub of activity on the Key. The casino is host to conventions and concerts, which is always a draw for the rich and famous that consider Salt Rock Key a luxury getaway only an hour by plane from South Beach. Marissa works at the rental counter with Anthony.
Anthony is Jack’s best friend. He is known for hitting on all the ladies and believes rejection is simply a form of a woman’s own self-control. He particularly likes flirting with NICOLE, Jack’s younger sister and roommate.
Nicole is a knockout, blond bombshell and she drives the island shuttle bus. It is the only public transportation on the island besides BEST rental cars and bicycles. She is Andi’s closest friend.
Andi is the true brains behind BEST, rather, she has more brains than anyone else at BEST. Although she prefers to stay in the background, when problems arise, Andi will help Jack solve dilemmas.
One thing that Andi can’t help Jack with is the fact that he hired a mime to rent cars. Burke wasn’t crazy about the idea of a mime renting cars, but since BEST has an unwritten, “no-fire” policy, DAISY is on staff and at work daily.
Daisy has a somewhat split personality. When in white face, she’s a full-throttle mime. When she doesn’t wear make-up she is an ordinary person and this is when her true comic timing really comes out.
Another ordinary person with impeccable comic timing on Salt Rock Key is DONNA, the banker. She moves in next door to Jack and Nicole
and soon becomes Jack’s love interest. Her role as the banker helps tie together many of the characters we meet from the airport to the casino to the quaint little shops near the yacht basin.
