SYNOPSIS:“ Myles Monroe is just a normal
teenager: he attends Taft High School, he has a
cute girlfriend, and his mother is way to
controlling. Yes, Myles Monroe is just a normal
teenager…that is until his parents sign him up
for a scientific experiment being performed by
the power-hungry and sex-craving Dr. Detroit
Conrad. A science experiment that'll leave Myles
pregnant! Being pregnant, seventeen, and a
male, Myles will go to any means to get rid of the
child. Thankfully, DEEP Discount Abortions and
Dating Services will take any client. But can
Myles get to the clinic before Dr. Conrad gets to
him? With a Free Cherry Popsicle is a dark,
satirical comedy filled with lies, sex, doctors,
movie-fanatic fathers, Disney-obsessed
abortionists, psychiatry spewing prostitutes, and
free cherry popsicles."
