Two men sit in a bar and engage in a conversation about their lives, friendships, and their feelings of being overlooked and misunderstood by society. They are disillusioned with the world around them and are consumed by bitterness.
The two friends dream of committing acts of violence against those whom they see as symbols of their frustration and alienation. Their fixation on a local celebrity, who becomes a target of their anger, leads them down a dark path that explores themes of identity, social alienation, and the desire for recognition.
