At Color Crafters, a small-town paint store, an auditor arrives for what should be a routine inspection, but something doesn’t add up. Discrepancies in payroll, missing records, and a crew that seems constantly on edge raise his suspicions. As he digs deeper, he begins to believe the store’s employees are hiding something much bigger: the disappearance of a former worker, Caleb.

Manager Geoffrey, ambitious employee Billy, and anxious new hire Faye try to keep their cool, but every move they make only makes them look guiltier. As the auditor pieces together a story of deception, secrets, and possible foul play, the crew struggles to stay ahead of him.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW? is a dark crime thriller pilot script about deception, survival, and how quickly control can slip through your fingers when the walls start closing in.
