VICIOUS: AN INTRODUCTION

DEAD FINKS DON’T TALK

A character study in its purest form, Dead Finks Don’t Talk looks to answer the question of “What would you really do if you found a suitcase full of cash?”

Ruby spends all of her time working at her failing used bookstore, telling tall tales to amuse herself, and crashing other people’s high school reunions. At one such reunion-crash she meets a dyed in the wool manic-pixie-dream-boy, with she stumbles upon a leather satchel filled with cash. She really likes the boy. She really wants the cash. As the onion peels and the tension mounts, Ruby has to come to grips with the trouble her tall-tale-telling-tongue can get her in when her tale-telling is at someone else’s expense.

Two reformed street-fighting broads – and former best friends – lose the one thing that might have reconnected them – their mutual friend Avery. When his mother tells him that one of his last requests was to have the two of them drive his body across country, Dix and Miranda are none too thrilled. They’re even less thrilled when they wake up the first morning of their trip to find that some low down snake in the grass stole the hearse – and the body along with it. A madcap road trip ensues as both women realize it’s time to bring their fists out of retirement.
