A caustic, deliberately provocative examination of male cruelty and emotional manipulation that uses dark comedy to expose misogyny as both calculated and pathetic.

Two business executives--one an avowed misogynist, the other recently emotionally wounded by his love interest--set out to exact revenge on the female gender by seeking out the most innocent, uncorrupted girl they can find and ruining her life.
