highly implausible script
Plural: highly implausible scripts
This tattered and faded script tells the story of a headstrong young idealist, a jaded smuggler, and a superstitious old man as they fight against a creepy and violent dictator who has hidden ties to the young man, the old man, and the woman who the young man and the smuggler are vying for.
Most of the names are barely pronounceable, let alone spellable, and the whole plot hinges on some mystical theory that the dead can speak and "not aiming" is the secret to being a good sharpshooter. All in all, highly implausible. You can't see anyone going for this.
