JUNGLE RESTAURANT is a comedy about nostalgia, environmentalism, and eating at a novelty restaurant under a time constraint.
Peggy has the perfect place for dinner. Her band needs to grab some food before their gig, and what better place than Jungle Restaurant, the location of her favorite childhood memories? As the four band members (and one band member's dad) try to survive the jungle-themed hijinks, they must explore what it means to become an adult during a climate crisis, and resist the urge to return to the primordial soup.
