Synopsis
“The Planters” is a dark comedy set in a small, desert town. It’s a lonely place for lonely people like Martha Plant, a young reclusive woman, who spends her days telemarketing and “planting.” As a “planter,” Martha buries stolen items in the desert and receives donations in return from whoever digs them up — the “receiver.” Martha finds her world turned upside down when another woman, Sadie Mayflower, literally runs into her while on one of her “planting” excursions. When she discovers that Sadie is homeless, Martha takes her in. She quickly learns that Sadie has multiple personalities, and the ever solitary Martha begins to find three friends in one. When Martha begins receiving donations along with cryptic, perverted letters from a mystery receiver, she enlists Sadie on a mission to discover who it is. Martha is crushed when she begins to suspect that the mystery receiver is one of her most faithful telemarketing customers, Richard Cox. Having developed feelings for him she sees this as a betrayal and prepares to take extreme measures to put an end to his time as her receiver.
