Description

Faustus is a clerk in St. Johns at Newfoundland's Department of Education. He dreams of becoming ruler of Newfoundland and seceding from Canada. In the real world, Faustus' boss Eddie Peddle plans to indoctrinate the citizenry of Newfoundland with a cultish geometric theory known as Total Education, but Peddle may be foiled at by the revelation of a secret from his earlier career.
