The year is 1991, Terminator 2 is the highest-grossing film at the Box Office, the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released and after 70 years of Communist rule the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed
And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia twin sisters are waiting for their supper
The farm is old and operated by Alfred McCluck, an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponry. McCluck's chicken farms produces over 140,000 chickens a year and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States
Despite the modest success of his business, McCluck leads a solitary life, never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself. A simple man with a not entirely bad heart. McCluck never knew how to best take care of the young girls who came into his life shortly after their birth, so
He raised them the only way he knew how - in a 2-foot by 2-foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash, crumbles, pellets and egg booster
One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm McCluck does not come at mealtime. Night falls and still he doesn't appear. The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger
Days pass and the chickens in neighboring cage has begin to die. The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn
Finally, desperate to find food and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian, the twins break free from their cage
McCluck's house is locked tight, but the girls find the garden hose, which quenches their thirst. Still half delirious with hunger, they make their way out to the road
