Some boys want sex that’s like their ice-cream – vanilla. But these horny dudes aren’t interested in anything tame. Kamyk Walker, Oscar Roberts, Brad Fitt et al demand something much more intense – and they’re not afraid to prove their devotion to sex with bite on-screen. Be it handcuffing a partner to the bed or tormenting a lover with hot wax, this is wild, on-the-edge fornication that will appeal to anyone who finds run-of-the-mill porn just that little bit tame. But be warned, what you are about to witness is not for the feint-hearted.

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.

In post-9/11 New York City, an eclectic group of citizens find their lives entangled, personally, romantically, and sexually, at Shortbus, an underground Brooklyn salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality.
