Synopsis
RED and HOODIE always lived in an isolated cottage in the deep of the woods. They live there with their GRANDMA and her stuffed dog MISTER PROMETHEUS PEANUT BUTTER. As the twins are now teenagers, they would like to be able to leave the cottage and see the world. Only they know the world outside is not safe, the Big Bad Dog looking for them. The impromptu visit of a SALESWOMAN will start shaking their belief in the reality of the threat GRANDMA has been warning them about since they were born. Is the Big Bad Dog real? Or have they been trapped in a tale?
