When Grace, a children's book writer with writer's block, unexpectedly falls into the pacific ocean, she meets two unlikely shipmates; a meek molting crab and a mighty talkative peacock.

Passionate screenwriter Jimmy Cameron can't seem to pin down his next big theatrical hit. With the recent submarine implosion, it should be a shoo-in; alas, his sleepless nights turn into bizarre cabaret-style fantasies, with his characters ascending into the real world to haunt him. “Hilarious! The concept of the story was funny, sweet and relatable, the actors exuded Great energy!” Alanna Phillipz, Hollywood Fringe
