Tommy Lane dreams of becoming a rock-and-roll superstar, but he can't shake his family's duckpin bowling legacy. His friends and uncle want him back on the team, but the former bowling prodigy only wants to be the next David Bowie. A karaoke competition just might hold his ticket to fame, as well as a prized record contract. But will Tommy's musical odyssey send him rocketing toward stardom... or leave him behind in the gutter?

A sci-fi comedy like you've never seen before! Welcome to the future, where the United States now consists of only the East Coast states north of New Jersey. The rest of the country has been divided into several new countries: Second Republic Of Texas, Gulf Coast Casino States, Disney's Colorado, Oregon International Landfill, and so on. Enter legendary pilot, The Captain. She just spent several years in prison after accidentally dropping a nuclear bomb on the Alamo-Dome during the Super Bowl. She killed 250,000 people, but they were all Texans and let's face it - they're always making more of those. Out of prison and anxious to return to the skies, The Captain meets up with her old friend Doc, who now runs the rickety airline, Iowa Air. Because of The Captain's reputation, Doc isn't sure he wants her flying his planes. In the meantime, The Captain's old boyfriend is now a bastard CEO of Alamo Airlines, a major competitor to all other airlines in the sky. They have armed 747 jets, and resort to dog-fighting in order to stay on top. So it seems Doc could use a good pilot like The Captain to help defend his airline against the competition. JETBLAST is a visually stunning look at a futuristic society, with plenty of desktop special effects that must be seen to be believed.
