SUNBURN
For fans of The Circle, Leave The World Behind, and Don’t Look Up.
When superstar ad exec Ray Ray Burns is forced to hightail it north from Texas after climate disasters torch her home, she’s shocked to discover an unexpected upside: global warming is...kind of awesome. Sure, the barren southwest is a hellscape of heat and wildfires, but everywhere else? It’s paradise. The once cold cities—NYC, Boston, DC—are now basking in endless summers, with winter practically a thing of the past. And just like that, her next big idea begins to take shape.
With the help of the deep-pocketed premier of Quebec—who falls for her pitch hook, line and sinker—she resettles in the long forgotten city of Saguenay as its Chief of Growth and gets busy creating campaigns to get everyone down south to move north for the new climate renaissance. For years, Saguenay booms under Ray Ray’s brilliant campaigns and comes to represent the bright side of global warming—a prosperous, utopian haven where equality, expansion and happiness reign.
But in one fateful night, the climate catastrophe erupts for the first time in the wealthiest enclaves down south. Suddenly, her fragile paradise in Saguenay is overrun by hordes of privileged refugees—who all have curiously close ties to her boss—kicking off a descent into madcap, classist chaos. As homes are invaded and private planes fall from the sky, Ray Ray discovers her investors’ intentions may not be as pure as she had once believed, and she must scramble to spin a new narrative that can outpace the destructive forces of both man and mother nature—or watch as the silver lining she promised to the world leaves her to be remembered instead as the pitchwoman of the apocalypse.
