Flaming Ears

Set in the year 2700 in the fictional burned-out city of Asche, the story follows the tangled lives of three women. Spy is a comic book artist whose printing presses are burned down by Volley, a sexed-up pyromaniac. Seeking revenge, Spy goes to the lesbian club where Volley performs every night. Before she can enter, Spy gets into a fight and is left wounded in the streets. She is found by Nun, an amoral alien in a red plastic suit who lives on a diet of rats and plastic reptiles and also happens to be Volley's lover. Nun takes the injured Spy home and must hide her from Volley. ==Cast==
