Cowboys With Questions

In a tunnel beneath the Soledad Mission in California, a group of people are drinking wine with a special ingredient. Theyre all in thrall to George, a charismatic leader with an uncanny ability to skirt death. Then a cowboy interrupts their secret ritual with questions about cattle, real estate, orgies, even the Talking Heads. Inspired equally by The Bacchae, cults, and the Doomsday Clock, Cowboys With Questions examines the pleasures and costs of surviving in uncertain times.
