Valley of the Sun {Episode 3}

Chad goes full influencer in the wasteland, launching his glitter-coated survival brand with DIY dust masks and shortwave charisma. Fame blossoms, scams evolve, and “ChadCo™” becomes more than just a hustle — it becomes a movement. After the town (and possibly an outhouse) blows up, he hits the road with a cactus, a shovel, and three wigs, landing in a crumbling strip mall bazaar where he reinvents himself once again — now offering motivational speeches and glitter insulation for barter.

Things are looking up... until a strange robed figure starts handing out cryptic flyers and a convoy of heavily-branded ChadCo trucks rolls in, unannounced. Old allies, new rivals, and a whole crowd of ChadCo “franchisees” arrive — and none of them were invited. Oh, and something under the dirt just started humming.

Because of course it did.
