Gad Factory

Thirty-three year old war veteran Edgar Weatherholt takes a seasonal job in a fruit factory, but the only person who can get him there is his nine year old niece; recent high school graduate David Hernando of El Paso, Texas, endures a traumatic ride from a migrant camp to work the mysterious new fruit; Antiope Penuel escapes from an academy where the students are required to work tirelessly towards industrial pursuits.

Three lives become comically intertwined around a mysterious new superfruit and the dreams which guide them as the truth behind the genetically modified organism and the factory poised to produce them come to a tumultuous head. The factory, cold, wet, industrial, is an unlikely incubator for grandiose fantasies, sparks of genius, paranoia, insubordination, and the like; the human mind, however, is not easily extinguished, and intelligence can be found in the unlikeliest of places.
