"The result is hallucinatory and puzzling, but never anything less than captivating." - Globe and Mail

"It's sexy, fearless, fun, and unrepentantly nasty." - L.A. Weekly

"A woozily entrancing mash-up, shimmying by itself in the horror-musical canon and sure to earn quizzically appreciative stares from genre enthusiasts." - Los Angeles Times

One dark night at the water's edge, a family of musicians encounter aquatic sirens Silver and Golden. After assuring the family that they won't eat them, the winsome sirens are recruited to join the Figs and Dates band at a neon-lit Warsaw dance club. When Silver becomes romantically entangled with beautiful blonde bassist Mietek, the more cunning Golden, who cannot escape her bloodthirsty nature, worries that her sister's relationship will doom their shared dream of swimming to a new life in America.
