Coat Hanger Blues is the story of a typical suburban family over the course of a not-so-typical school year. Gerry is a single father and fledgling writer who, in the wake of his wife's death, is bent on penning "the greatest multi-generational horror epic ever written." His son, Josh, is a sophomore with a budding interest in stand up comedy and an infatuation with an unsavory classmate. Amber is Josh's twin sister, a shy outcast and co-founder of a punk rock band, navigating the world of teenage pregnancy in shame and secrecy. Coat Hanger Blues is a gleefully offensive yet sympathetic take on sexism and sexuality, misinformation and disinformation, religious oppression, and political correctness.
