A transgressive, deliberately shocking dark comedy that uses extreme depictions of family dysfunction and sexual violence as a vehicle for absurdist satire and perverse redemption.

In a dysfunctional family where the mother is a heroin addict and prostitute, beaten by her son, and the father is an ex-TV reporter, sleeping with his daughter and filming his son being beaten up, ‘Q’, a complete stranger enters the bizarre family, changing their lives for the better, finding a balance in their disturbing natures.
