A darkly comedic parable about entrepreneurial ambition that spirals into betrayal and violence, blending absurdist humor with a cynical view of the American dream.

A comic tale of three would-be entrepreneurs who set out to invent a rocket belt. The clash of their mismatched personalities soon dissolves the business into a morass of recriminations and retaliations, kidnapping, and murder in this parable of American dreams and delusions.
