Moonshine

Mia was a frustrated reporter working for a popular Neo-Pagan publication of dubious journalistic merit. On a damp and grey spring morning, she travels halfway across the city of Montreal to meet her friend and former lover Alex for an early lunch. Alex, a successful space lawyer for an emerging lunar mining company, offers Mia a job to investigate U.S. Senator Ethan Charles, who has recently launched a smear campaign against John Sotero, Alex’s boss and the CEO of LuNation Mining International. A popular figure among the extremist fundamentalist fringe of the American right, Senator Charles has been threatening LuNation’s future success by taking particular exception at Sotero’s plans to cover the Moon’s surface with solar panels to provide free energy to the developing nations of the world.In the hours and days that follow, Mia and Alex recruit a crew of misfits comprised of Pagans, geeks, a ‘reformed’ nun, and other unlikely allies to counter Charles’ war of words. Together, the improbable heroes devise a scheme that will make the unrelenting Senator look as though he’s planning to sabotage Sotero’s altruistic venture through most improbable and imaginatively creative means. Hijinks, fueled by copious amounts of alcohol, ensue.
