When budget cuts in the sleepy town of Bayside force the locals to choose between one of two rival ambulance companies, the competition to be the best quickly devolves into a battle of sheer stupidity in this raunchy comedy from San Diego Film Festival co-founder and programming director Karl Kozak. Bayside Ambulatory Life Services (B.A.L.S.) and the Downtown Intensive Care Unit (D.I.C.) have always shared a friendly rivalry, but when both companies realize that there's only room in town for one ambulance service, the race is on for each to prove they can save more lives than the other. Unfortunately, competence isn't a strong point for either D.I.C. or B.A.L.S., and before long these bumbling EMTs are more concerned with their bruised egos than their ailing patients.
