Cheap Food and Sex

When two therapies converge in the Arizona desert, love is in the air; but supporting his mom’s way of healing her inner child still isn’t enough to prepare Garth for Frank’s ‘great white hunter’ ritual—or for his New York daughter, Serena. Sometimes a good laugh at ourselves is the best way to communicate and, maybe, the only way to heal the planet.

Cast: 
MARS A grown-up child of the 60’s with a child-like innocence and charm. A vegetarian with an occasional craving for meat which she secretly indulges once or twice a year. GARTH Mars’ son, 17. A confirmed vegetarian who has never eaten meat even in utero. Simultaneously down-to-earth and mystical. He is fit, a swimmer and soccer player. FRANK A Sicilian health-food storeowner from Manhattan, turned McDonald’s manager with an east-coast attitude and a west-coast mentality. SERENA Frank’s daughter, 17. A typical teen-aged Sicilian girl from New York City with a matching attitude and a disinterest verging on distaste for anything “airy-fairy.” She plays basketball, acts, is in good physical shape. SERVER A typically enthusiastic young McDonald’s server.
