    Andy Dag and Claire have been handed a society beyond their means. Twentysomethings brought up with divorce Watergate and Three Mile Island and scarred by the 80s fallout of yuppies recession crack and Ronald Reagan they represent the new generation- Generation X. Fiercely suspicious of being lumped together as an advertiser's target market they have quit dreary careers and cut themselves adrift in the California desert. Unsure of their futures they immerse themselves in a regime of heavy drinking and working in no future Mc Jobs in the service industry. Underemployed overeducated and intensely private and unpredicatable they have nowhere to direct their anger no one to assuage their fears and no culture to replace their anomie. So they tell stories: disturbingly funny tales that reveal their barricaded inner world. A world populated with dead TV shows 'Elvis moments' and semi-disposible Swedish furniture.
