Gravediggers, according to production notes, "spins the surreal tale of two gravediggers and their ever-mounting body of work, a draft dodger, his mother, and a strange red organism that won't stop growing, and growing — and growing. The show targets the uniquely American mindset that sees war in strictly geo-political, economic and entertainment terms."
