George Decker has a dream of escaping his life and jetting to the Bahamas, but getting there will mean finding a way to rid himself of his wife, his crushing debts, his demeaning nine-to-six job, and an American culture that he feels has been specifically designed to torture him. Annie Decker, George's wife, has a dream, too: booking the lead role in an infomercial for the "WOW! Sponge," which is the most watched television program in America. George and Annie have exactly two friends, and they are just as fraught with strife -- Mikey and Gemma Breyer are wracked with suspicion, subterfuge, and scandal, but you wouldn't know it by talking with them. Mikey is an unemployed entrepreneur with a (seemingly) indefatigable happy-go-lucky attitude, and Gemma secretly finds comfort in the arms of another -- the other being an attractive skydive instructor who breathes new life into the word 'cockpit.' Nationally, tension is simmering: citizens must own a gun in order to obtain health insurance, and the most influential children's show on television is Triceraglocks, a Barney-meets-Nerf-meets-the-industrial-military-complex creation that yells its slogan over a hail of bullets: "Bang Bang!" As Annie's acting career approaches new heights, George's frustrations send him plummeting towards rock bottom, and the lives of these four selfish, striving people intersect in ways that are hilarious, violent, and spectacularly unpredictable.
