You Can't Kill Michael Malloy

Genre: Dark Crime Comedy / Period Thriller

Setting: The Bronx, New York, 1932

Target Audience: Adults 25-65, fans of dark true-crime stories, period crime films, morally twisted comedies, and stranger-than-fiction historical scandals

Comps: Fargo (ordinary criminals spiraling into moral absurdity), The Banshees of Inisherin (bleak Irish tragicomedy), The Death of Stalin (grotesque historical comedy and panic)

Logline: In Depression-era New York, a desperate speakeasy owner and a cold-blooded undertaker insure the life of Michael Malloy, a cheerful homeless Irishman, only to descend into murderous panic when every poison, accident, and grotesque scheme they try only seems to make him harder to kill.
