Red Emma’s

In a fading old porno theater in a town called Friendship, a mild-mannered young advertising writer watches a movie called_ Throat Sprockets _and is never the same again. As he becomes increasingly obsessed with the film, it infects him with a new erotic aesthetic that finds expression through his advertising work, spreading its vampiric influence on a local, national, and eventually international level. As his old life crumbles and a new one begins to take shape, he sets out on a quest to discover the secrets of the film's creation and the identity of its mysterious creator.
