When you scratch the surface what you get is surface.

Charlie used to be somebody. Now he's a nobody. Financially dependent on his wife and mortified by his own deadbeat status, he self-medicates his premature emasculation by ranting about the shallow lifestyle he still covets.

Clea is new to the scene. She's a trophy wife in waiting with a vocabulary ripped straight from Facebook. The glistening object of fascination who will lay waste to Charlie's seemingly solid marriage. Blondes don't come any more toxic than this weapon of mass destruction. When she's done with this old dude, he'll be left bewitched, bankrupted and buggered. Unreality bites.

A naughty, sharp-elbowed comedy about the empty narcissism of contemporary pop culture and the savage economies of sex.
