Synopsis:

Gary Kelp (Samuel Johnson) is haunted by the recent memory of his father's death. At work for a sterile organisation called 'The Info Digest', Gary is given a project that deeply disturbs him: he must condense a medical guide known as 'The Illustrated Family Doctor'. Slowly, methodically, Gary begins to experience the very symptoms he's having to describe. Gary's girlfriend Jennifer (impressive new-comer Kestie Morassi) can't help him she's sick of their relationship - and another woman (Jessica Napier) is causing serious complications too. His main ally at work, Ray Gill (Colin Friels) suddenly disappears - and to top it all - a mysterious underworld figure, Snapper Thompson, has begun to stalk Gary in the company corridors... A black, irreverent comedy about what holds us together when everything else is falling apart.

In the vein of Atom Egoyan, and David Cronenberg, the new black comedy from director Kriv Stenders surprises at every turn. This film is a black, irreverent comedy about what holds us together when everything else is falling apart.
