Clean Sweep

This is a game of Primetime Adventures starting in October 2015.

Series summary[edit]

Premise[edit]

A group of friends, now in their seventies, looks back on their shared criminal past. The series narrates in three different time periods: when the protagonists are in their seventies, which takes place forty years in the future (2055-ish), when they are in their thirties, which takes place in the modern day (2015), and when the characters are all in high school together, which takes place 15-20 years ago (1995-2000)

Setting conventions[edit]

The main story takes place in Toronto. The world is largely as it really is (i.e, no fantastical elements) but there is the possibility for gadgets that are a bit beyond what really exists.

Tone[edit]

Goofball humour. Light-hearted and silly. The show has a rating of TV-14, though, as there may be some sexual or violent content.

Protagonists' common bond[edit]

The common bond is threefold, corresponding to the three time periods. In the past the bond is that the protagonists all went to high school together. In the present the protagonists are all coerced into robbing a bank together. In the future the protagonists are all on a curling team together (see also Grandmasters Curling Association of Ontario).
