A provocative comedy anthology that uses rapid-fire sketches and role-playing to satirize male infidelity and sexual transgression, balancing irreverent humor with darker social critique.

Eight short films explore the subject of male infidelity. Serial cheaters, Fred and Greg, spend a night on the town doing what they do best, and with absolutely no regrets. The duo play various characters in assorted extracurricular situations, ranging from sexist to the darker sides of carnal desires.
