A gleefully transgressive grindhouse comedy that weaponizes shock humor and absurdist violence to satirize corruption and bullying through the origin story of a disfigured anti-hero.

A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club, is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste.
