It is a story, I suppose, about nothing. Though that might be an
exaggeration. It concerns the life of a man utterly unfit for
recruitment into a covert Government agency, who finds himself
unwittingly recruited to one anyway. What starts as a thrilling
adventure soon spirals out of control. It's not long before our
hero is on the run with a band of misfits, hightailing it across
state, pursued by ruthless inadequacies, neurotic self-loathing and
a hitman with a 9mm handgun. Soon forces beyond our hero's control
will carry him with unstoppable momentum towards Asylum, an
enormous super club built in the remains of an old slaughterhouse
in the middle of the desert. With three floors of dancing, drinking
and irreverence Asylum seems to represent the Holy Grail for
disillusioned youth, but it will also act as the final resting
place of trickery and deceit, a place where truth begins to break
through the thick, black barricade of insanity and shine light on
the depressing realities within.
