Science Fiction
Once a famous science fiction writer and cult figure, he’s now nothing more than a destitute and forgotten drunk living in a seedy hotel room. The man who once wrote about the future now seems trapped in a present that has no future. But tonight fortune will shine a new light on Spider. He’s about to be reborn.
First he’s found by Jill, his nerdy and dedicated number one fan, who’s hitch-hiked across the country to pay homage. Then he’s kidnapped by Quint, a crazed bounty hunter and ex-mercenary, assisted by his dim bulb accomplice and surrogate son Teddy.
Quint’s mysterious employers believe Spider is special. They think he’s the next messiah and he’s going to save the world from self-destruction. There’s just one problem. Spider doesn’t want the job. And there’s no way Quint and Teddy can show up at their destination empty-handed.
Suddenly Spider finds himself in Quint’s car speeding off into the night on a bizarre cross-country road-trip almost as fantastical as one of Spider’s own stories. A journey that ends with he and Quint locked in a battle for the future, a confrontation only one will win, and that’s closely being watched from far, far away.
Fast-paced, dangerously hilarious, suspenseful, emotional and thought provoking, Science Fiction is an out-of-this-world dark comedy about redemption and the nature of belief.
