Chicago restaurateurs Naomi and Madeline know that image is
everything for a new business. So, when a negative review says their
restaurant Ciao “perfectly summarizes the hypocrisy of the
bourgeoisie”, they know just what they need to do to change
people’s minds: host a neighborhood food drive. Tax exempt status!
Unpaid interns! What could go wrong? With these two, just about
everything.
At the nearby college, students Steven and
Bianca are having relationship problems. They both feel that the
other isn’t really seeing who they are. When David, their professor
and ersatz couples counselor, suggests that engaging in an activity
together – perhaps charity work – would allow them time and space
to bond, they become integral parts of Naomi and Madeline’s party
planning committee.
These five narcissists bond to form a
touchy-feely collective of incompetence and it soon becomes apparent
that the primary purpose they serve in each other’s lives is to
monitor for stray rational thoughts and obliterate them. With each
failure, the rallying cry is the same: “next time, it will be
different!”. Ping-ponging between farce and tragedy, bland pop
psychology flows effortlessly into negligent homicide as they are
literally haunted by the ghost of rejected advice.- Rebekah Murphy,
