An unflinching descent into nihilistic depravity and human degradation, using extreme imagery and surrealism to interrogate the darkest impulses of existence.

Along with three women and a mysterious old man, the group journeys into a horrifying abyss of debauchery and moral mayhem, leading to a fatal turn of events, during which the darkest human depths are revealed.
