GRAND CENTRAL

a screenplay by Peter Wing Healey and Harry Hall

An adorable Connecticut couple, who commute to power jobs in Manhattan through Grand Central Station, get caught up in a nasty divorce complicated by corporate backstabbing and accusations of child abuse.  Things calm down when he shacks up with a celebrity cooking guru and she tangles with a ruthless playboy CEO, but a predatory divorce lawyeress and her ninja henchmen enter the picture and all hell breaks loose.  Only interventions from the god Orion leaping down from the ceiling of Grand Central and the ghost of Commodore Vanderbilt, rumored to haunt the station since the night of his death in 1877, can bring about the healing of this marriage, which was meant, it turns out, to last.

This is a classic, old Hollywood, plot device – couple gets divorced – couple finds out they still love each other – couple remarries.  Here it's served up 80's fashion with a stylish, two-income couple, two children, a Martha Stewart-like neighbor, a brush with homelessness and a dose of the supernatural.
