The Funeral Planner Goes to Washington

By Lynn Isenberg and Cleo Qian

The President of the United States hires Maddy Banks, CEO of Lights Out Enterprises, to solve a national grief crisis and overnight she's dubbed the Grief Czar. Maddy's Job: Heal the nation bereft with grief from financial scandals, an economic tsunami resulting in the lowest GDP since the Great Depression, a Middle East Peace crisis, and the loss of a beloved First Lady and Secretary of State. At the same time, Maddy confronts the fact that she is a workaholic, and has to save her relationship with fianc Victor Winston, and stop her arch nemesis Derek Rogers from bringing the country down with yet another backdoor scandal through the Federal Reserve. The Solution: Maddy creates a national holiday dubbed "MY GRIEF DAY" for the nation to grieve their losses together - bringing grief out in the open for collective healing while becoming the President's personal "grief-buddy," putting her workaholic meeting participants "to work," and outsmarting her nemesis Derek Rogers with good ole fashioned American ethics.
