Everybody wants the drugs. Nobody can catch the dealer.
After 100 episodes, 50 feature films, countless beers, several demons, suspicious amounts of gabagool, at least one Banana Whale, and absolutely zero lessons learned, Beer Me That Movie is heading down the mountain one last time.
Mercy Peak, Colorado. 1991.
Preston “Powder” Jones was once one of the fastest skiers in Colorado. Now he spends his nights illegally moving affordable medicine down Mercy Peak for the people who can no longer afford to buy it.
Powder calls it “alpine pharmaceutical redistribution.”
Everyone else calls it drug smuggling.
But when a midnight medicine drop turns out to contain lifesaving drugs, evidence of a corporate conspiracy, and one extremely suspicious orange canister, Powder discovers that corrupt resort owner Conrad Pike has turned the entire mountain into a trap.
An avalanche-control explosion leaves Powder injured at the summit with ski patrol closing in and a critically sick kid waiting for medicine at
the bottom.
The clock reads 6:15 A.M.
The clinic gets raided at seven.
Powder's normal route takes two hours.
He has 45 minutes.
One mountain.
Several hundred prescription drugs.
Absolutely no prescription.
And nowhere to go but down.
Genre: Action Comedy / Ski Movie / Medical Heist Thriller / Corporate Conspiracy
Setting: Mercy Peak, Colorado — 1991
INSIDE PART 1
🎿 Meet Powder Jones: Former ski champion, current black-market medicine runner, and owner of the loudest ski suit in Colorado.
💊 Powder Means Snow: Everyone assumes Powder is smuggling cocaine. The hundreds of white pills in his backpack are not helping his case.
🏔️ Welcome to Mercy Peak: Conrad Pike has purchased the mountain, the pharmacy, the medical system, the ski patrol, and apparently the concept of snow itself.
📟 1991 Technology: Pagers nobody understands, pay phones attached to buildings, malfunctioning radios, cassette tapes, and a Walkman that refuses to die.
🚧 The Cone Goblins: They recognize no human law. They do, however, recognize traffic cones as currency.
🧁 Trust the Muffin: A young dishwasher knows considerably more about rich people, secret tunnels, and locked basements than she probably should.
⛪ The Chapel: Powder finally discovers who has been helping move medicine through the Zero Divide Network…and longtime BMTM listeners may recognize her.
👀 THE UNIVERSE IS GETTING WEIRD: Some very familiar people, creatures, objects, and extremely questionable pieces of Beer Me That Movie history are beginning to appear around Mercy Peak.
And somewhere inside Powder's backpack is a canister labeled:
PROJECT NUGGET NECTAR
FOR IMMEDIATE DESTRUCTION
DO NOT CONSUME UNLESS PREPARED FOR GREAT CHICKENING
Probably nothing.
