Gut-busting, in-your-face comedy!
SYNOPSIS
After young couple Kevin and Blake engage in an adventurous and hastily planned night of group sex with the older Max and Andy, they are left to salvage their relationship from a mix of jealousy, betrayal, telegrams from a soaking wet delivery boy and a ravenous sea monster from the ocean floor. This universal love story rendered through a post-modern gay lens slips from domestic comedy into a darkly fantastic fable and examines what it really means to say the words “I love you.”
“ALL THE MORE POWERFUL FOR BEING SO FEARLESSLY UNPREDICTABLE.”
– Los Angeles TIMES
“SEARING AND SENSATIONALLY FUNNY!”
– New York Times
“EXPLOSIVE. INSANELY ENTERTAINING AND COMPLETELY ENGAGING.”
– New York Magazine
