Dallas and Thursday, the famous Fortune Brothers, are two cowboy heroes who never shrink from a challenge, even when it's WAY over their heads. What they find in the candy-colored community of Edenwood sucks them into a mystery that pits the Haves against Some Other Haves in a battle for the ideal consumerist identity. Perhaps the only film you will ever see involving henchmen with PhD's. Created by EMU faculty member Jennifer Locke.
