Scent Notes: Pumpkin spice, Indian sandalwood, dramatic music playing as boots walk across gravel, amber.
The pumpkin folk have lived in peace for years, but that all changes one night when a drone delivers a parachute carrying a single item: an empty coffee cup.
The trailer begins and we learn through a series of flashbacks that the son of the pumpkin man grew up without his pumpkin dad, caring for his pumpkin mom and little pumpkin brother. He has found some peace, but still has nightmares about an evil chuckle he overheard in his pumpkin dad's office one night and can't get the vision of a coffee splattered envelope out of his mind when he closes his eyes at night. Scenes flip by fast, then faster, childhood memories of joy, news flashes of reporters announcing that the pumpkin man had, "Saved spice as we know it," and, "We wouldn't have the spice we know and love today without the pumpkin man." Newspaper articles, a funeral, a grieving mother, a new baby crying, and faster and faster the images flip by, then stop. We see the son of the pumpkin man quietly eating dinner alone in his house, he hears a drone land on the front step, and discovers, to his horror, an empty paper coffee cup with foam still clinging to the inside walls and a potent spicy smell. The Most Dramatic Music Ever plays, and he narrows his eyes. The camera cuts to a wide open field with a long driveway leading to a little house. The son of the pumpkin man steps out of the car and his boots crunch the gravel as he approaches his pumpkin grandma standing on the porch. "Haven't seen you in ages, Pump," she says, and he just holds up the soiled paper cup. She narrows her eyes and simply says, "You know what to do."
