A satirical comedy about colonial politics and corporate greed that uses the absurd premise of a mineral water discovery to skewer British imperialism and American capitalism.

The British governor of a tiny island nation in the Caribbean Commonwealth finds his idyllic existence thrown into chaos when an American drilling company finds a huge source of natural mineral water there.
