A
SCREAM
An utterly charming but totally
corrupt and down-on-his luck art dealer – Theo Blackstone–
is given what he assumes to be a fake repro of Edvard Munch’s
recently stolen THE SCREAM. He tosses it, only to be unwittingly ensnared
in a Homeland Security sting surrounding the famous painting. Things
go from bad to worse with crooked federal agents, double crossing spies
and members of an underground radical fringe group. Highly improbable
plot situations, exaggerated characters, and slapstick elements collide
in A SCREAM, an artsy farcey.
