"Noble Chrome Pirates"
(NARRATIVE - 19 minutes)

Noble Chrome PiratesFive friends piece together their dream machine out of stolen car parts. Once finished, they come to find that the very thing that brought them all together, is now the one thing that is tearing them apart. Steeped in style and running on pure cool, this story is all about fast cars, hot girls, and a lot of rock 'n' roll.
