One day during his daughter's 6th birthday party, a Daniel gets a phone call from his wife, while on her business trip, to tell him she won't be coming back home because her career is too important to give up. Daniel goes to sleep that night, upset about his wife's decision. Twelve years later, Daniel is now faced with his daughter's graduation and recent acceptance of a university out of state that will leave Daniel alone for the first time in his life. He dreads this and so must continue working as the town's "One Man Handy Man" providing the care and consistency that his father established many years before him to keep up with the changing times and the growth and expansion of the town. He hires an on-hand expert, Jacob, a single father in his own rite to help out. But bitterly doing so, against his own wishes and to meet the times of those requiring his services, Jacob falls for Virginia (Daniel's daughter), much to Daniel's dismay and the conflict ensues. This story comes with a twist ending...

Ken, the V.O. is a narration. While the many different scenes are taking place, you hear Daniel's voice, hence the V.O. See the movie American Beauty...very similar in format and style as a beginning narration.

I read only the first page and although I find the subject matter compelling the format is confusing to me. The V.O.'s I feel should be done by a Narrator, and the dialouge used in your action lines should be the dialouge of Daniel. Has this ever been suggested to you? I could be wrong. Ken
