Dropcloth Angels: The Pitch

ZANE ELLIS sees himself as a renaissance man; he is an actor, a painter, a lover of life’s mysteries. He is also a cannibal. Zane revels in the flawed beauty of the human condition. Restless and unable to quell an inner demon, he embarks upon a quest to search out a perfection that may not exist.

ZOE BEAUPRE, proud party girl and grade ‘A’ number one trick in her pimp daddy’s stable, has come home to pay a long overdue visit to her reclusive sister.  Her goal is to kick back, catch up, and have a little fun. After her sister falls for a mysterious new beau, fun turns to murder, and Zoe quickly becomes entangled in a suffocating and deadly web of urban legend. Dropcloth Angels follows the adventures of Zoe, along with her guardian angel—disguised as a foul-mouthed, stuffed purple monkey—and a rag-tag band of AWOL mental patients, as they track Zane across America’s Midwest. Along the way, Zoe’s search for answers reveals a strange underworld of Internet snuff films, a famous murder-faking clown, and one cannibal’s love for a Loop called Froot.
