Benito

When a thespian devotee of the local repertoire theater grows desperate to finally gain a leading role, they throw hazard to the wind and decide to make a deal with Old Scratch. However, the Devil has more interest in selling rather than buying, specifically the soul of Benito Mussolini, the long dead fascist dictator of Italy. What follows is a chaotic mess of improperly switched souls and increasingly disastrous misunderstandings. Joined by a muscle-bound man of God and an elderly English housekeeper possessed by Il Duce, our would-be performer embarks on a cross-country hunt for a stray dog needed to set everything right. On their way they will encounter lackadaisical slackers, polyamorous corporate strivers, gun-toting rideshare drivers, self-important theater folk, greedy business tycoons, and religious fetishists, all while pursued by two cockney accented goons. As the trio struggle with each other and their inner demons, tensions rise and the stakes grow, until the future of the entire good old U.S. of A. is at risk.
