A transgressive, darkly comic odyssey of a man emerging from lifelong abuse into a bewildering world, blending grotesque surrealism with genuine pathos.

Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world.
