LOVE UNSCORED Original English Short Drama Screenplay Format: Ten-episode romantic workplace mystery Genre: Contemporary romance, technology mystery, drama Series premise: At a fast-growing relationship platform, a behavioral researcher discovers that the CEO’s love score is blank. The company calls it a bug. He calls it a boundary. Their search for the truth exposes a hidden data practice that has been shaping people’s most private choices. LOGLINE Lyra Bennett is hired to audit the “Heartline Index,” a compatibility score that promises to make dating less uncertain. When the index returns no result for the guarded CEO, Rowan Hale, she becomes the only person at the company who cannot read him through a number. Their uneasy partnership uncovers a covert scoring experiment and forces them to choose between a profitable illusion and a more honest kind of connection. Synopsis: A blank score appears during the final rehearsal for a major product launch. Lyra, an independent product auditor, is assigned to explain the anomaly before investors see it. Rowan refuses to authorize a patch that would fill the field with a guess. As Lyra examines the system, she finds that the score is less objective than its designers claim: the company has been using private activity to shape user behavior, then hiding the manipulation behind clean percentages. Rowan’s blank profile is connected to an earlier privacy failure involving his sister. The investigation turns into a fight over consent, accountability, and the people who have been treated as data points. Lyra and Rowan grow closer, but neither can use the platform’s tools to decide whether they belong together.
