A Baron. Jameela and Akil Adams, a happily married couple. A lush plantation. A forbidden apple orchard. A business proposition.Jameela and Akil are innocent and naive to the ways of the world, residing righteously in Eden City on 200 acres of divinely beautiful green lands until one day, a mysterious stranger appears...“As a matter of fact, one could build a profitable empire from the so-called Forbidden Fruit,” The Baron surmised. “Endless amounts of cash. A virtual Fort Knox, my dear Jameela. Lots and lots of money.” He released a long, pensive sigh. “I have recipes for all types of things apple. Apple pies, apple tarts, apple juice, apple cider, apple butter, apple jelly, apple turnovers, fried apples, dried apples, apple candy, apple cobbler, and apple danishes…apple candy. Eat some now, save some for later. Hmmm. Yes. Just a few ideas.” He winked.Jameela couldn’t believe her ears. “Really? You think so?” She beamed with excitement possessed by The Baron’s inspiring presentation.But what is the price of this promise of wealth?Are Jameela and Akil willing to pay?Temptation, Temptation. Tsk-tsk. Indulge this mildly humorous satire of a beloved biblical story.
