Loosely based on the Bacchai, Time Traveling with Cannibals explores the hysterical and haunting effects of affluence and fame. Ari and Rostam, two old-money, ivy-league hipsters accidentally transport a young Elvis Presley to the present. With time travel deemed a success, the boys shift gears to recreate a cannibalistic life-extending ritual, abandoning Elvis in present day New Jersey without the horrible burden of fortune, females, and fame.
