A rollicking tale of absurdity, a loser, and the underdog. To save a dying town of psychedelic hippies and misfits, Helen is tasked with promoting the town's organic produce. She enters Billy, a local clean athlete, into the decathlon of a drug fueled alternative Olympics run by the pharmaceutical corporations in Guantanamo Bay where anything goes.
Their unwelcome arrival in Cuba is seen as a threat by the pharmaceutical companies and dirty tricks begin, with as much action off the field as on. When a media black-out thwarts Helen's plans to promote, it is up to the antics of strangers to draw attention to Billy's efforts.
New friendships are forged in an uphill battle competing against drug enhanced giants, all contending for their own reasons. New World Records are set, and horrible injuries occur. It is bad art and good sports. Organics vs steroids, lentils vs cocaine, in a world of hypocrisy and self inflicted deformity. Can a man outrun a deer? Can you win Gold as male and female? And is Mickey Mouse a blackfella?
