Do as I Say: Pilot

By B.K. North

DO AS I SAY: Pilot is the opening episode of a six-part psychological crime drama set in modern South London.

Twenty-five-year-old Solomon Usman Umaru is intelligent, disciplined, and quietly carrying more responsibility than most people his age. Living with and caring for his mother, Aisha, while working a fast-food job far beneath his abilities, Solomon desperately searches for a way back into the career he once believed he was destined for.

An interview for a job role offers a glimpse of hope. But beneath Solomon's calm exterior lie unanswered questions about his past-questions even he struggles to confront.

As he navigates family duty, faith, financial hardship, and the quiet humiliation of watching those around him move ahead, small cracks begin to appear. The pilot introduces a deeply human character whose greatest battle is one that remains largely unseen.

Written in screenplay format, DO AS I SAY: Pilot is the first chapter of a slow-burning psychological crime drama exploring isolation, identity, masculinity, mental illness, faith, and the consequences of unresolved trauma.

This is the beginning of a story about a man who wants to do good, but slowly loses control of himself.
