When the Shit Hits the Housewife

Marie Dougherty thought her life was a fairy tale: she had a great job, a nice house in the suburbs and a picture-perfect marriage. All that ended one Friday night when coming home from happy hour. At a red light, her husband, Matthew, jumped out of their car without warning. He disappeared down an alley in one of the seedier parts of Philadelphia, leaving Marie perplexed and alone.

 

Not knowing what to do, Marie calls up her childhood friend, the punk-rocking Nick Marsh (from OstentatiousÕ Noir Reunion). Soon, the two are traveling up and down the east coast, chasing MatthewÕs fading trail.

 

With MarieÕs world falling apart, she questions her old life. Was Matthew having an affair? Does he want to be found? And why does the organization CUN—T keep turning up?
