Any teenagers that rebel against the system are given Wolworth Surgery, which changes them into controllable model citizens. The film takes place entirely within the family's apartment, while they attempt to civilize Aimy in an escalating cat and mouse battle, while the world ends around them."

To finance it, Jackson sold off most of his possessions in 2012 and invested in Bitcoin at the average price of ten dollars per coin, making it the first Bitcoin financed feature film, at the total budget of $500,000.

With a feast of colors and sound, and songs by Joanna Wang, the film went on to have a loyal cult following.
