- The Turkey Men
A gay Civil War couple are haunting their own abandoned turkey farm in the 21st century but fading away whenever they must deal with outside forces. A teenage lesbian is dragged into their home by an older man and woman who have been hired by her parents to “pray away the gay,” using cult tactics to reverse her sexual orientation. The ghosts must decide whether to help her even if this will cause them to blink out of existence. Of course they do decide to get involved, and much humor mixes into the dramatic resolution of this complicated situation.
