The Empress Rose: Synopsis
Meet Rose Voss: a thirty-something waitress, recently widowed with four kids and an alcoholic brother-in-law living in a trailer in her back yard. She’s deep in debt with a semi-destroyed house and a failed business. With no one to rely on but herself, Rose takes her innate gardening skills and organizational wizardry and makes a Hail Mary leap into hydroponic farming.
Meet Luscious, Missouri: its rural population dwindles more and more each year as families leave in search of better jobs and local businesses die off thanks to the new GoBuy next door. The residents have always enjoyed their small town quality of life, but they’re starting to realize it has a cost. Luscious is struggling to find its identity in a global marketplace and denial won’t work anymore. There will be change. The question is will Luscious adapt in the name of progress or go down fighting with business as usual?
