A presidential election. The Democrats' campaign is on fire, but not in the good way.

What fools these mortals be

Meanwhile, the candidate's sister meets a guy online and they fall in love and destroy things. A political strategist talks to a messiah and has some fun with a dominatrix. A conservative radio host becomes a prophet and meets the woman with whom he will spend the rest of his existence. Tina, a waitress at the Flip N Stack, loses three precious parts of her life.

This play explores the role of violence in our future as a culture, how we can discover the humanity in humans, and how we can survive with out killing each other. Kinda big, right? Oh... and the water is rising.
