Anarchist “twins,” Marc and Yvette, foster kids literally found as babies in the Everglades, are now about 20, and reunited after his prison term. Together they’re determined to get her on stage (she’s a self-taught soul singer with paralyzing stage fright) and get him the rec center for lost kids he’s always wanted to build. First they have to destroy his childhood abuser and get her out of a sex-cam “lullaby” contract she made to support herself and send money to Marc’s commissary.
They also have to figure out who they are: twins or lovers. They want to know their own story, for reasons of identity and meaning, but are afraid to learn they’re definitely related, because then they can’t be in love. So they live without context, except the one they create. This is a psychedelic Florida story, buried deep in the wilderness of that hot and sticky state. Tapping into Les Enfants Terribles, Wild at Heart, Florida Project, this is the first part of a serialized "sunshine noir," with a nod to Harry Crews, a touch of cheap supermarket tabloids, a little dirt and grit, big heart, and some pop music on top.
