🎧 KILLER CARGO — Act Two | Written by Heather Foster

Christmas Eve. Branson, Missouri. One deserted airport. One forty-foot Christmas tree. One passenger who was never supposed to get off the plane.

Flight attendant Anita Fitzgerald and her insufferable copilot, Kevin Powers, have somehow survived the flight from hell. The jet is on the ground, the cabin door is shut, and whatever crawled out of that mysterious cargo pod is safely locked inside.

Or so they think.

While Kevin self-medicates with stolen whiskey and a Santa hat, Anita waits for their billionaire boss to arrive with help. Meanwhile, a foul-mouthed cleaning woman is having a spectacularly bad night, the Christmas decorations are about to become a serious liability, and something very hungry has discovered the joys of airport travel.

Turns out surviving the flight was the easy part.

KILLER CARGO is back with more mayhem, more questionable decisions, and a rapidly growing alien with absolutely no respect for personal space. The terminal is closed, the body count is rising, and the only thing standing between humanity and a very unpleasant Christmas morning might be two people who can barely stand each other.

Featuring Ashley Bell as Anita Fitzgerald, Darin Toonder as Kevin Powers, Shaan Sharma as Captain Charles Song, Jade Tailor as Daria Jagoda, Charles Halford as Cliff Krantz, Ed You as Idris Bowman, Matt Curtin as Arnie Heim, and Sarah Phillips as Madge, with Tim Friedlander narrating.

Act Two of Three.
