A surreal, high-energy satire that uses absurdist body horror and corporate grotesquerie to interrogate race, labor, and complicity in modern capitalism.

In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success – which propels him into a macabre universe.
