Johnny the Widower is a reality show pilot about a charming, handsome interesting artist who is so in love with the memory of his wife that he has no desire to date. He pretty much lives in isolation with his wife’s dog and his music and art. He used to be a shaker and mover in the Brand Management field for private corporations in the financial industry however the loss of his wife left him depressed and jobless.
The Widower has a close friend and music partner who works as a Director of Environmental Services at Brooklyn Hospital. His friend wants to see The Widower snap out of his depression and begin to date.
The Widower's friend arranged for the widower to take a job as a housekeeper supervisor before being evicted. While working in that position, the pandemic hits. Still depressed and with the world around him falling apart, the Widower goes into a deeper depression.
The Widower uses his art as therapy so in his spare time, he engages in producing the COVID Universe Album project consisting of music from all essential workers. The artists range from the CEO of Bellevue Hospital down to housekeepers, firefighters, social workers, and clinicians.
The Widower position as Housekeeper Supervisor was terminated due to the vaccine mandate. Now he spends his time creating and promoting music to the world in hopes of achieving a major distribution deal, all while going to school to take his NYS Real Estate license test. His director before his termination had a crush on him but didn't do anything about it because of her position. She's on The Widower's team that's working on the COVID Universe project.
Johnny the Widower also met the villain of this story working for Environmental Services. He's an Assistant Director who has a tremendous amount of music industry connections. He's aware of The Widower's production of the COVID Universe album and he wants in. Behind the scenes, he's scheming to take over the project by any means necessary.
The widower is taking therapy with a hot psychiatrist for his depression. This can go anywhere, open to interpretation from team members.
