A grotesque, darkly comedic Australian body-horror film that treats graphic decomposition and pharmaceutical experimentation as material for absurdist satire.

Residents of peaceful Pebbles Court, Homesville, are being used unknowingly as test experiments for a new 'Body Drug' that causes rapid body decomposition (melting skin etc.) and painful death.
