THE STORY:

"Dating in Los Angeles sucks!"

And for two sets of friends living in Los Angeles no truer words were ever spoken.

Following the trials and tribulations of guy-friends Jack Loderberg and Doug Harris and girlfriends Chole Busik and Jody Eleazaro as they try and work out the whys and wherefores of dating in Los Angeles, "Fish Kill Women" tells the story of how these four friends cross paths, cross purposes and encounter all the hell of what it means to fall in love in the City of Angels.

For Doug who is always looking outside his on-again, off-again relationship with his live-in girlfriend Edie, he sees the exotically beautiful Jody and decides she is the change of pace he needs. While Jack, struggling to overcome a failed relationship, finds he is drawn to the enigmatic Chloe.

But as they avoid the reality of their true feelings, these guys and gals must overcome the chaos and confusion that comes from the lies and passive aggression that come with avoiding the true feelings of love.

An unconvential romantic comedy that deals with cross-dressing, bi-sexuality and giant metallic grasshoppers, "Fish Kill Women" is a modern-day Shakespearean comedy that explores the agony and joy of dating and falling in love in present-day Los Angeles.
