Long Last Call

IT’S THE DEGRADEST SHOW ON EARTH!

It’s closing time at a backwoods strip club, somewhere in America. Business as usual, until an elegant stranger comes onto the scene: chumming the waters with a briefcase full of cash, and a dark agenda all his own.

Because he is no mere human being. He is a walking repository for all of the anger and hate that men and women feel toward each other. And every scum soaked dollar he hands out only serves to up the voltage on the war between the sexes. The have and have nots. The lovers and the haters.

The result is a blood soaked, horn*y and horrifying monster bash THE DEGRADEST SHOW ON EARTH that builds to a shocking and soul stopping grand finale.
