A sinister comedy about three crazed Italian-American brothers in a Cleveland hairpiece business whose sometimes vicious, often hilarious lives have plummeted to an all-time low. The brothers plan to salvage their situation by stealing and selling a competitor's client list. But the plan grotesquely self-destructs, and the brothers struggle to reconcile the shared guilt of their failed lives before being consumed by an unaffected world. Wryly over-the-top, this is an outrageously wacky entry in the "comedy noir" genre.
