FILM NOIR IDEA.

Opening shows Al hanging from  the ceiling gently swinging in a cold breeze, whilst Adrianna walks away leaving Al to die. (It is heavily implied Al dies)


Al's band, The Triangle Delights, are playing a gig to a crowded room,  a woman in red (Adrianna) is standing by the bar smoking LUCKY STRIKES. She elbows her way through the crowd and throws a napkin at the band with her phone number on. Al follows the girl frantically amongst the crowd and outside into derelict buildings, he enters a run down pub and finds a corpse of a man lying on the bar, there are numbers tattooed across its neck.

Weeks pass and all Al can think about is the girl and the body he discovered. He uses the numbers that were tattooed on the corpse to play the lottery and wins the jackpot of £2.8 million. He tells no one about this and does not claim the prize.

Al goes back to playing gigs with his band. Instead of the woman in red, the person he saw at the abandoned pub was waiting at the back of the room, leaning on the bar fixated on Al through the bands entire set. The band are booed off like usual and Al leaves through the back door.

Al plays another gig the following day, the man is back. After the gig he confronts the man. We learn that the man only refers to himself as 'Smith'. Smith knows Al was the last person to see Adrianna, but Al is even unaware Adrianna is missing. Spooked by the whole thing Al again makes for the door and escapes to his shack.
