Dickfish
Set in turn-of-the-century Washington, DICKFISH is a prurient peek into the limousine lives of six frisky young professionals, whose twisted histories, complex values and subterranean tunes ultimately reflect or reject the modern America of our imaginings. Its tongue-in-cheek tone lifts the randy tale to wild heights of irony, as left-wing elitists lampoon right-wing extremists and raging narcissists skewer noisome Neoconservatives. Nobody winds up covered in glory. But, in the end, as in life, decadent Democrats always find a way to have fun and dour Republicans never know why.
