Society's Ills is a slice of life story about a group of community college students in the town of New Scumden. Viewing the world around them and an uncertain future where among other things, pizza is considered a vegetable and the obese masses buy and swallow such information, our heroes find various means of escape, whether by way of a rodent cult, a psychotic Public Access TV clown or any substance that they can find while trying to bail out easily influenced friends.
