A high-energy political parody that uses absurdist humor and a Dickensian spirit-guide structure to mount a satirical argument about American patriotism and national identity.

A cynical anti-American Hollywood filmmaker sets out on a crusade to abolish the 4th of July holiday. He is visited by three spirits who take him on a hilarious journey in an attempt to show him the true meaning of America.
