Chocolate Underground

Synopsis

After the authoritarian Good For You Party came to power, all sugary and unhealthy foods were prohibited. This heavily impacts Smudger Moore, whose father's bakery can no longer sell its customary confections. His friend Huntley Hunter is also affected, as the ban stops him from keeping a pledge he made to his deceased father. Unable to endure their repressive society, the two boys decide to resist the new regime. Yet they soon discover that the fight they have started will prove far more difficult than they first believed.
