Nits

An insidious parasite is working its way through the suburbs of Washington, D. C. NITS follows the trail of a virulent outbreak of head lice as it wreaks havoc on the lives of a social climbing mother of a scholarship student, a buff young Latin teacher and a controlling do-gooder who is so consumed with exterminating the pest, people start calling her the "Lice Nazi." A social satire with bite, NITS explores the themes of class, ambition, and the unavoidable interconnectedness of modern life.
