Roycet is a small, tight-knit community struggling to survive under the pressure of a domineering land baron, who has a knack for getting under people's skin. The creek that once provided water to the farmer's crops has gone dry, leaving the land parched and the people desperate. Despite these hardships, the residents of Roycet are determined to keep their traditions alive, especially the annual Chili Pepper Festival, a beloved event that has always brought the town together. The characters of Roycet are a quirky mix of individuals, each with their own flaws and unique qualities. Some are stubborn, some are busy-bodies, and some even downright reckless. As the Chili Pepper Festival approaches, the tension between the townspeople and the land baron escalates. People are forced to make difficult choices, balancing the need to resist the baron's pressure with their desire to uphold the traditions that make Roycet special. Through humor, heartache, and a touch of suspense, Roycet, When The Creek Went Dry, captures the spirit of a small-town resilience, the importance of family, and traditions. It shows the lengths people will go to, for a cause they believe in, even if it means making some questionable decisions along the way.
