Canned
Peaches in Syrup
by Alex
Jones
5 Males, 3
Females
Synopsis: The timely
post-apocalyptic comedy Canned Peaches In Syrup is set in a seemingly
absurd and inconvenient future where global warming has reduced the
planet to a desert wasteland, peopled by dwindling tribes of vegetarians
and cannibals. Ma, Pa and Julie wander the blighted landscape in search
of vegetable sustenance; but when the malicious prophet, Blind Bastard
shows up and discovers they are the guardians of the very last can of
fruit known to mankind, his greed sends cannibal Rog into their camp,
triggering a Romeo and Juliet journey that spirals dangerously into
passion, mayhem and destruction beneath the fractured sky of a doomed
world.
