A paranoid, cerebral sci-fi thriller about sonic manipulation and hidden control, where everyday muzak becomes a tool for mass behavioral subjugation.

F.M. discovers that different sonic frequencies induce different patterns of behaviour in listeners, first in his own studio but later in the local "H-Burger" restaurant where the passive muzak appears to be wiping people's emotions.
