World's richest man defies plague, occupies bunker, stages cabarets!

Now... "Sing for your Supper"!

In a near dystopian future, when a devastating viral plague shuts down civilization, the world’s richest man, Prosper Prince, gathers those closest to him and retreats to a remote bunker while the world perishes. Fully supplied and staffed, Prince plans to ride out the storm in a series of cabaret entertainments featuring the seven deadly sins. His captive cult followers are even required to compose their own music and scenework. Tonight, it is Halloween, a special night at Chateau Flesh with everyone costumed and masked. Now everyone must sing for their supper as he carries out his vendetta against the world as he perceives it. The world responds with its own. Spun from Edgar Allen Poe's The MASQUE of the RED DEATH
