Tim Hawkins

A teenage boy stoner lives with his single mother.

Decades after his career as a tobacco advertising icon, Bryan Burns’ life is in ruins. After his mother dies of lung cancer, he is tormented by a talking cigarette on an anti-smoking billboard. He snaps and transforms into the Ribspreader, a killer stalking the city, extinguishing smokers and cutting out their lungs to make his macabre smoking jacket.

A hit man and his potential protege are tasked with burying a body in the countryside but the seemingly simple job takes an unexpected turn.
