Crossing the Crab Nebula
On a scorching desert highway, perennial journeyman drifter, Booney is running towards the idea of some sort of better life in California. Joining him on his journey is Radio, a young hitchhiker experiencing disjointed visions, and a backseat full of empties. As the road shifts around them they are stalked by an ethereal, blonde carhop mirage-on roller skates. And still Booney can’t get a damn beer! As they race down the road they find there are ghosts of past and future that they can’t outrun.

The Deal
In this darkly absurdist romp, Veneer and Boular, two impeccably clad, powerful businessmen espouse the many virtues of their lifestyle. Whether it be the merits of having an office at an altitude so unnaturally high that birds literally suffocate or the simple glory of the almighty profit margin they agree that doing away with the public altogether would ease the growth of business. This delicate dance of deal making takes a wickedly twisted turn as the pact becomes a grotesque quest.

To be determined.
