Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.
A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

Reviews
- ines.vThe Empath★★★½
Very clever, very cold, deeply pleased with itself. I understand what it is doing and I do not want to spend time with it.
