Down The Rabbit Hole, Scene #01
In the thrilling opening scene of "Down The Rabbit Hole," we find Clara (Eliza Eves), a bubbly blonde on the cusp of graduation, casually sharing dreams and doubts with her friend, Lacey. Their laughter-filled chat about prom and future plans takes a sudden turn when Clara confesses her worries about financing her dream business school. Lacey, in a moment of playful banter, suggests an outrageous solution: what if Clara were to auction off her virginity? Clara's shock is palpable, but she brushes it off with a laugh... or so it seems. As Clara hangs up, we see the gears turning in her mind. She chuckles to herself, then pauses, her expression shifting from amusement to contemplation. "Could I?" she whispers, shaking her head as if to dispel the crazy idea. But the seed has been planted, and Clara's internal struggle is written all over her face. She considers alternatives—a job at the local grocery store perhaps—but nothing seems enough. Her hand traces a light path down her body, and we see the conflict in her eyes, mixed with a spark of curiosity. In a flurry of impulsiveness, Clara turns to her online friends for advice. Most think it's a joke, but one user posts a mysterious link. Clara hovers over it, biting her lip, hesitant yet intrigued. With a determined look, she clicks it, her eyes widening as she dives into a world she never knew existed. Hours fly by as she reads, her fingers dancing frantically on the keyboard, the tension in the room skyrocketing. A text message jolts her back to reality, instructing her to call a number. Clara's apprehension is clear, but she makes the call. Someone answers, and thus begins Clara's descent into the unknown. Later that day, Clara stands before a sketchy building, her hesitation evident. Yet, she presses on, stepping through the front door. Inside, she finds herself in a dimly lit dungeon, her unease growing as an older man, Max (Seth Gamble), approaches. He inspects her like a predator circling its prey, his gaze hungry and possessive. Clara, however, stands her ground, her initial unease slowly morphing into fierce determination. Max, taken aback by Clara's growing fire, becomes intrigued. Despite his initial annoyance, he agrees to her terms, setting the stage for Clara's dark exploration. As she faces Max, her transformation is unmistakable. She is no longer the carefree girl from the beginning; she has truly fallen down the rabbit hole, embracing the role of a curious, determined ingenue navigating a dark, seductive world. What awaits Clara in this shadowy underworld? Will her determination be enough to see her through? The stage is set for a performance that will leave you on the edge of your seat, wondering just how far Clara will go.
