An ACW Story

A black comedic, low-fi /sci-fi -scary- adventure tale with a babyschool heist and some drama thrown in for good measure.

Poetry meets commercial on the playground of our sub conscious.

“Everything exists, here, there, anywhere. We are not the only ones living in this world, never were, and never will be.”

…..

South East Asia. Navi: a daughter to a Hindu goddess, Bunny: a toy that has become human, Pim: a prostitute going back in time, and one bad cowboy demon are about to do a babyschool heist. Thrown in a few more bad, maybe people, from another time space. What could go wrong? Everything and more!

Smack in the middle of an exotic remote jungle village, the super score is about to go down, with everybody in chaos comedy mode, trying to figure out what is, and what could be. Time is of essence.

They succeed, to only be double, criss-crossed, super f**ked by an entity unbeknownst to all of them. The very wrong marks from a different time space. One quite easy smash and grab, becomes their worst nightmare.

Navi and Bunny, desperate for answers, make side hustles with people/ things that are evil as evil can be, only to start another chain of events that will change their life forever. A mixed up world out of control.

Run, run and begin again. Danger, excitement, creatures of the night, ghost of yesterday, a poison death, a bag of severed heads, time space jumps, red skies, and replicas from another universe. Fairy-tale’s come to life, only to see the horror of living in a unknown universe of hate.

They end up at safe house,(five star hotel) only for things to flip switch again, and again.  A nightmare with no beginning or end in sight.

Will they escape? Can they survive? Who are they? What does our existence even mean?

Family, betrayal, and a crazy ass adventure make this a surreal ride of a this lifetime or any lifetime. To be continued!!

Think “Stranger Things” jungle style, meets “Harry Potter” very dark style, meets ”The Lost Boys” Asian style, meets “Charlie’s Angels” Asian style, directed by David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, and Spike Lee on a psychedelic acid trip. What the f*ck is right!
