A grotesque, visually audacious stop-motion odyssey through a nightmarish underworld that blends body horror and dark comedy with weighty questions about genetic engineering and human survival.

Mankind can no longer reproduce because of gene manipulation aimed at making life longer. The clones ruling the bottomless underworld may have become fertile. Parton is selected to go on a mission through a subterranean labyrinth crawling with monsters to secure humanity's future.
