Storyline
The future United States is a dystopic irradiated wasteland known as the Cursed Earth. In Peach Trees, a 200-storey slum tower block, drug lord Madeline Madrigal, also known as Ma-Ma, executes three rogue drug dealers by having them skinned alive, infused with Slo-Mo (an addictive new drug which reduces the user’s perception of time to 1% of normal) and thrown down the atrium from the top floor.

“I’m always frustrated when somebody makes a movie out of a book and they leave the book behind, or the heart of it.”
