THE RISE OF THE POLYP

THE RISE OF THE POLYP
By Jack Rice

GENRE: Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

A simple solution to world hunger is not so simple when your food starts to bite back.

SYNOPSIS:

Two famous Botanists, who happen to be the descendants of a bunch of Nazi war criminals living in Argentina, with the help of two hapless assistants discover the formula for growing edible polyps. These polyps which grow like tomatoes, in groups on individual stocks, have all of the taste and protein contained in a good cut of Angus Beef with none of the drawbacks. In the minds of Professor Kaiser and Ivan the fact that the polyps are addictive is the icing on the cake that will enable them to fulfill their plans for world domination and usher in a “Fourth Reich”. Business is booming as their upstate New York facility expands from a few dedicated greenhouses to a worldwide operation.

Things are looking up for Professor Kaiser and Ivan and in spite of a few run ins with Mexican drug cartels and repeated attempts at industrial espionage by various rivals, the pair is focused mainly on acquiring diamond pinky rings and buying more stuff. Their dreams start to head south when the polyps discover their own ravenous taste for human flesh.
