In the year 2018 a poet named Liam is putting the finishing touches to his work, a kind of 'bible' for the new, post-apocalypse age. But his work is just as threatening now as it was when he first started 20 years ago and a mysterious warrior has come to find him before he can spread his message into the world again. Liam's past is told in flashbacks to when he was first started his work, and shows the influence of his spiritual icon, Kurt Cobain.

The film, described as 'cyber grunge' has been thought by many to be too confronting for the general cinema audience. The visuals are amazing, and the film makes innovative use of different styles. Dialogue in the film is generally at a minimum, instead allowing the music and visuals to tell the story. This is one of the most unique Australian films to be made in some years-don't miss what might be your only opportunity to see the film.
