Cereal Offenders: Story Summary

Here is a quick summary of the story of Cereal Offenders, from the script which we shall be filming our final project from:

Three boys Sam, Danny and Ralph are trying and failing to present a popular podcast focused around cereal found in popular entertainment mediums. They are contending with a girl called Graham whom has so far been much more successful than the three. After some berating from Graham, Sam has the idea to create a 24 hour livestream, watching several cereal-themed films in oder to gain more followers.

The three become tired and burnt out after several hours. Ralph messages his friend to drop off some illegal drugs in oder to try and liven things up. They end up each hallucinating. Danny hallucinates that he is presenting a cookery show, Sam finds himself in a idilic world and Ralph appears to have become a sunflower and enters conversation with two other sunflowers in a field. Each hallucination ends with a dark figure taking them away.

They eventually wake up from their individual hallucinations to see Graham in their house, who has come to shut their live-stream as they are stealing some of her ideas. The three can only see her as a giant penguin, still suffering the effects of the drugs. The dark figure eventually comes to take her away (though in reality Graham just walks out).

Later on, after recovering slightly, Ralph accidentally babbles out some Government secrets while the livestream is still running and are eventually detained by Government agents when the livestream cuts out.
