Are uncomfortable in your own body? What are you ashamed about? Why are you the way that you are? Questions we ask ourselves but never truly answer. Meet the 20 somethings with a lot of unpacking to do. Bigfoot, the hairiest man you’ll ever lay eyes on, Lyssa a heavy-set pushover, Dixie, the try hard, Adam, the uneducated in all things sexual, and Greg the incomprehensible squatter. But there is something lurking in the shadows, a dark slimy mass, its feeding, its growing, it’s becoming uncontrollable. Come see what’s in store for this ‘Group of Friends’ and how the most unlikely person may be the answer to all your problems.
