A darkly comedic descent into madness where a disturbed man's internal struggle between good and evil impulses plays out through anthropomorphic animal voices, blending horror, absurdist humor, and genuine psychological unease.

A mentally unhinged factory worker must decide whether to listen to his talking cat and become a killer, or follow his dog's advice to keep striving for normalcy.
