Benedict Arnold

Original Screenplay

BENEDICT ARNOLD, the celebrated and anxious general of the American Revolution, works with his nineteen-year-old wife, PEGGY, to collude with the redcoats, surrender West Point, and kidnap his best friend, GEORGE WASHINGTON.

But every time Benedict tries to meet with his correspondent, the British Spy, JOHN ANDRE, fate, circumstance, and ineptitude gets in his way. What’s more, he begins to suspect that Peggy and John have a little more history than once assumed.

Amidst the backdrop of a newly formed nation, Benedict and his cohorts will soon learn that the only thing stronger than professional ambition may be romantic insecurity.
