Claws

Set in a Florida nail salon, Claws is a midnight-dark, wickedly funny meditation on female badness which follows the rise of five diverse and treacherous manicurists at the Nail Artisan of Manatee County Salon, where there is a lot more going on than silk wraps and pedicures. At the center is salon owner Desna, who lives with and cares for her mentally ill twin brother, Dean. Desna's staff includes best friend Jennifer, a tenuously sober ex-party girl raising two children from previous relationships; Quiet Ann, Desna's enigmatic driver who also provides security for the salon; Polly, a mild-mannered preppy who recently served time in prison for identity theft; and Virginia, who makes no effort to hide her boredom and impatience with her job. Adding chaos to the Nail Artisan mix is Roller, a gangstered-out redneck who runs a barely legal pain clinic and uses Desna's nail salon to launder their obscene profits; Bryce, Jennifer's husband who is also newly sober and trying to stay legit by working as an abundance coach; Dr. Ken Brickman, a bona fide doctor at a decidedly un-bona fide and illegal drug clinic; and Uncle Daddy, a dangerous Dixie Mafia crime boss who is deeply Catholic and actively bisexual.
