A young man goes into the woods and kills a beast. It's the old romance of coming of age. But let's make this hoary epic into a comedy of initiation in the language of the here-and-now. Some feckless guy from a world of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll - or surfing and fringes of the film industry (he's from Southern California) - gets stuck in the snow in a small town in rural mid-America. How do the natives react? What pranks do they play? Are these folks malign or do they have hearts of gold once you get past the inbred noses and flappy ears? Dickeyville is tough but fun-loving, old-fashioned yet not quite so hick as a New Age sophisticate likes to think. Here the young man faces monsters he's never imagined...
