Synopsis

Bat Fidler has always been a loner, never able to fit in with other people. Then he lands a wrestling job at a carnival sideshow. That’s where he meets Emmy, a scrappy stripper, and Fish Boy, the belligerent guy in charge―and his lovely wife, Fish Girl, one of the stars of the freakshow. Bat as usual finds himself the misfit among the other performers. They all annoy him. He even finds himself arguing with Emmy. It’s not long before Bat realizes that, in spite of her deformity, it’s Fish Girl he wants. And that’s when his life at the carnival turns to violence, and all their lives are changed.
