The Decline and Fall of Us All

Synopsis: It is the 21st Century sometime in the not-too-distant future, and the world as we know it has virtually come to an end. Not through any holocaust -everything has just stopped working! The rich hide in "walled-up" country club estates while no one really knows what the rest of the world is doing. Into the mystery of this muddled future, we find the Vanowen clan in their decaying Faulknerian mansion on the fairway of Rock Ridge Country Club, proudly aristocratic and clinging to the shards of their culture like a drowning man to flotsam. As we meet these cultural throwbacks, we also behold a world sadly amusing and frail beyond belief, especially when some "Outsiders" are captured and change the dynamics forever.
