The Bleeding Class

Show Info

By Chisa Hutchinson
Directed by Cezar Williams

You can judge someone’s character by how they treat those who can do nothing for them. But what if that person could give you everything? How would you treat them?

When a mysterious plague throws society into chaos, it results in an unlikely alliance between the reserved Dr. Pennington and a strong-willed escort named Sugar, whose immune system may hold the key to saving the world.

Sugar and Dr. Pennington trade personal barbs and professional observations as they race to find a cure. But, according to the shadowy players backing the project, there’s something more important than human lives at stake – money. Can this dynamic duo of total class opposites get past their own biases to become humanity’s salvation, or will the mechanism of capitalism crush them in its greedy vise?

Funny and fast-paced, The Bleeding Class combines science fiction, thriller, and camp to ask: What would you do, and who would you be, if everything was on the line?
