By the end they throw up their hands and end up right back with their dystopian beginning. Only worse.

How to be a Mob Boss in just 5 Days

(Quick side-note: This is a really fun title!)

A crime-comedy movie about a NEET who, on the way home from the convenience store, wanders into the middle of a tiny scuffle between two gangs (could be Mafia or Yakuza or whatever's appropriate) and accidentally kills one of the leaders. Turns out, the guy he killed is a lynchpin for the rival gang. So the gang that he helped kidnaps him, takes him to their boss, and give him a job.

Gang members keep assuming he's a criminal mastermind and giving him more responsibilities, only for things to Go Horribly Right every time — despite the NEET's best efforts to just get out of the situation and go home.

By the time five days have passed in-universe, the NEET has gone from a nobody to a full-blown mob boss, capped off with a Klingon Promotion.

Holy frick, this story may have legs. Maybe give it a theme about "not running away from your problems" and some Coming of Age Story vibes?

The Painted Veil

Artist Edward Andersen famously only made one painting in his life, The Painted Veil, a somber portrait of an unidentified woman in a mourning veil. The painting was sold to a museum for a sum that was modest by fine art standards but enough to set Andersen up for life, and he retired from work and painting altogether and retreated to a reclusive mountain resort, where he later died. Now, however, he has become the prime suspect in the disappearance and murder of a woman that occurred in his youth, and the painting may hold a clue as to where Andersen buried her. The problem? It has been stolen.
