A surreal, acid-tinged dark comedy set in a doomed nuclear town where bizarre characters and absurdist events derail a simple insurance scheme.

The new owner of a roadside diner stuck in a town built around an always leaking nuclear power plant plans to torch the place to collect insurance. However, an assortment of bizarre characters and weird events (such as spaceships flying around) gets in his way.
