Joe, a small-town abattoir worker, leads us on this allegorical journey. His dream to fly has impelled him to construct his own helicopter. Its a ramshackle assembly of scrap and found objects. The machine has no real practical capability aside from standing as a monument to his individuality. It becomes evident that an art buyer has offered money for the flamboyant creation, a mixed blessing that has caused a fracas. The community are unjustifiably demanding a stake in the potential spoils. Joe must fight them off, or lose all he has worked for.

Zolani wakes on the outskirts of a small town, lost and disoriented. Met with fear and hostility, he turns to violence for survival, finding an unlikely ally in a charismatic TV evangelist. The preacher’s warnings of “false gods” corrupting society fuel Zolani’s growing delusions. Obsessed with a recurring movie trailer, he becomes convinced that God has commanded him to kill its star. Armed with a policeman's stolen gun and car, Zolani embarks on a brutal mission, leaving chaos in his wake as his reality unravels.
