SYNOPSIS
Set in a used car dealership, Call Me Fitz is a show about a handsome, substance abusing scoundrel, Fitz, who torments his naive co-workers, sleeps with any woman with a pulse and — thinks his life is perfect. That is, until he takes a customer for a test drive and she ends up in a coma. The accident unleashes Larry, Fitz’s ‘conscience,’ intent on rehabilitating Fitz’s battered psyche and the Fitz family’s sleazy way of life. Bleak, black, twisted, it’s an existential buddy comedy that asks the eternal question: can a man change? More importantly, when he’s having this much fun, do we really want him to?
