Queen Palm

Congressman Vern Bushnell is having one hell of a day. His wife is leaving him unwashed hippies are protesting his newest condo high-rise and his long-time political patrons-the brothers Sneed-have decided to make him the patsy for an explosive scandal effectively ending his Gubernatorial ambitions. Vern has no intention of going down alone. He threatens to spill all the Sneeds proverbial beans to police and press alike. Whats a little blackmail between friends?The Sneeds are predictably and exceedingly displeased. Before Vern can blab they banish him. Not merely from the political arena goodness no. Taking advantage of a secret Cold War-era science project gone horribly right they banish Vern to another universe. A parallel universe. A universe in which Congressman Vern Bushnell has never existed. Until now. QUEEN PALM is a delirious brain-bending blend of sci-fi paranoia humid Floridian romance and a Max Roach bebop drum solo.Go ahead. Close your eyes and listen to the syncopated snares and never-ending Gulf waves shushing and ask yourself... what would you do with your second chance?
