A dark comedy thriller that mines tension and absurdity from the collision between a serial killer's twisted logic and comedians' desperate attempts to survive through humor.

A serial killer abducts two stand-up comedians after they mock him as part of their on-stage act. If they teach him how to be funny, he might let them live.
