SYNOPSIS
This comedy takes a look at the conflict between honesty and expedience implicit in the social contract of people everywhere.

MARLON is a misfit. Named by his mother after Marlon Brando, he looks more like a young Albert Einstein. All he really wants is to get along with everyone and fit in, but it's such a compromise, and as he says in his opening monologue (over tv images of George Bush explaining about the Iraq problem of finding weapons stockpiles in such a huge country with so much sand, with some great backup from Cheney) "Lying particularly irritates me."
