Unbrotherly Love

Twin twenty-two-year-old brothers are trusted by their dad to transport a half-million-dollar car across Europe. Aided by a hitchhiker and hindered by a demon, the two incompetents need to overcome their hatred for each other to deliver the vehicle in one piece

The story opens at Vienna International Airport, where HUNTER HAMILTON, a twenty-year-old carefree wannabe musician, emerges from Customs for the start of a “ten-day holiday” with his father, ROD.

It is quickly revealed that they will be joined by Hunter’s twin brother.

JAYDEN HAMILTON, an extremely intelligent neurotic, suffers from anxiety and OCD. While greeted by his dad, he is accosted by many passengers whose flight he disrupted.

At the parking lot, the boys are dazzled by a sparkling new pearl-white Bentley Continental GTC Convertible that they will transport from Vienna to Liverpool to ship to the U.S. as a surprise for their mother's fiftieth birthday.

Bodychecking each other to take ‘shotgun’, their natural feuding is highlighted in a flashback to the womb, where the two fetuses spar to be the first one out of the birth canal.

At the hotel, they discover there are only two beds, so the brothers would have to share one. While Jayden is sprawled out on the bed napping, his mouth open and breathing loudly, a memory of when toddler Jayden, hooked up to a CPAAP machine, is doted over by his parents. Making Hunter feel left out.

When Rod is called back to the States on the first day, the boys convince him to let them take the car instead of hiring a transport company. He reluctantly agrees when they promise to be extremely careful and abide by his rules. They will be rewarded handsomely if they deliver the car unscathed. If not, they can say goodbye to their inheritance.

Hunter desperately needs the money to avoid eviction for non-payment of rent. More importantly, he is determined to succeed and prove that he is not the "screw-up" that his father takes him to be.

That night, Jayden returns to the hotel room to discover Hunter in the room with a woman. He refuses to leave until Hunter repulses him by licking chocolate from his date’s armpit; and offering the other pit to Jayden.

The next day, Jayden walks up to the Vienna Haus Der Musik Museum to find Hunter selling their father’s ticket. When confronted about scalping, Hunter assures him it was sold for face value. Jayden then insists on his half of the sale. Hunter puts the cash down his pants, rubs it on his crotch, and offers it to Jayden, who is repulsed.

Inside the House of Music, Hunter gets into a physical altercation with CHRISTOPHÉ, a twelve-year-old German boy. In the process, Christophé absconds with Hunter's cell phone.

About to embark on the journey, Jayden freezes behind the wheel, sparking a flashback of the twins learning to drive. After an argument with his brother, he panicked and almost hit a car.

Settling into their room at the Salzburg Hotel, they try to order room service, but can't figure out how to use a vintage rotary dial telephone. Fighting over the instrument triggers a flashback to the tween brothers fighting over a video game controller. Jayden feigns not being able to breathe, causing Hunter to be punished.

At the “Sound of Music" Gazebo attraction, Hunter spots Christophé and attempts to retrieve his phone. In the process, he crashes into the gazebo, causing it to collapse domino-style. He is promptly thrown into jail.

Jayden doesn’t want to bail him out, but does because Hunter has the car key. They use their dad’s credit card to post the bond and pay for the reconstruction of the gazebo.

Stopping at a roadside pizzeria, the boys encounter a stranded young woman, ANALISE, heading west. They offer her a ride.

On route, Analise gets them to open up about their past and labels Hunter the Alpha.

At the hotel, shy Jayden, who can’t hide his crush on Analise, invites her to join them for dinner that evening. Analise talks about her past and gets to know Jayden.

While trying to impress Analise, Jayden gets drunk and passes out. Hunter offers Jayden’s bed to Analise by tossing Jayden on the sofa.

Participating in a sculpture workshop at the Louvre Museum in Paris, Hunter confronts Christophé, sparking a clay fight, which results in a pedestal statue being knocked over, causing a chain reaction of several more to fall in succession.

That night, when Analise returns, Jayden has trouble avoiding lusting after her as she changes clothes.

The next morning, Hunter discovers his money missing. Jayden insists he didn’t take it. Hunter then accuses Analise.
