Tom's Project
Bleach - co written with Doug Bolton
BLEACH is a soap with a bite.
An ordinary, recognisable suburban community slides towards
chaos when the rules of their society are irrevocably
challenged.
As outside forces cause food and power shortages, pillar of the
community Derek Burns embezzles money to save his wife's hopeless
pregnancy. A boy in a coma warns of impending calamity and a pet
pig turns neighbour against neighbour.
New arrivals, the Campbell family, struggle to contain their
desperation, reacting to the deteriorating situation like cornered
rats. When Derek's wife finally gives birth to a pig, anarchy and
hedonism take hold.
A comfortable, familiar world subverted. Amid the violence and
strange rituals, Derek stands up for his neighbours and finds some
redemption as a new community emerges, purified and bonded by blood
and fire.
