In the future (after the apocalypse, I'm assuming), leather-clad gangs will battle for supremacy on the rubble-strewn streets of New York City. They will carry torches (perhaps the sun has been blotted out?) and scowl a lot. There also will be a whole lot of overturned/ burned-out vehicles, as is to be expected in any post-apocalyptic scenario. The future, it turns out, is vaguely reminiscent of "300," or maybe "The Warriors," or both.

Here’s what Pepa had to say about it in a recent interview:
"I thought Will was really cute and we would hang out a lot on the road. He liked to take care of me and never let me spend a dime. He was that kind of guy, real generous.
