- The meaning of life explored through multiple interconnected lives set in the near future.
- Set in the not-too-distant future, this intense sci-fi thriller explores the repercussions that mankind faces when their omniscient technology becomes a substitute for human contact. But life begin to unravel when a global storm causes electronics to go haywire, leading to terrifying, deadly consequences.—Jakkepoes
- This is a collection of unrelated (very loosely related) short stories supposedly set in the future that oddly has no high tech one would expect in the future, but instead uses common everyday tech that we have now such as Alexa and glitched VR headsets.
Story 1: The Last Mechanic Space mechanic David, played by Thomas Jane, is in space repairing a satellite. For unknown reasons, he is not anchored/tied to the satellite when it is struck by a space storm that causes him to be hurdled into space. There is no sign, before or after the storm strike, of the ship or station he was on so you are left wondering, how did he get there and where has he been living while in space. He spends the rest of the movie floating through space, questioning God, talking to the on-board AI program, and leaving a voice recording for his young daughter Emma.
Story 2: The End Of The Line An android dealer is trying to sell his stock of used androids. He has a young woman customer who he shows his Charlie android. Charlie, played by Rupert Everett in bad old man makeup, is 60 years old and was used as a companion to old people at the end of their life. Charlie is awkward and makes the young woman uncomfortable with his bad dad jokes and off-putting sense of humor. She passes on buying him. The android dealer is frustrated trying to sell his used stock and in the end, decides to euthanize Charlie robot by crushing it in an industrial steam press type machine. Charlie android is feeble, fragile, stiff, and has to be helped getting up like a typical old person so why anyone thought he would be a good helping robot to humans is beyond me! The story ends.
Story 3: Alexa God A young woman in her mid 20s lives a boring, wasted life where she literally only wakes, talks to her Alexa with a God complex, gets charged $25.99 for each idiotic sin such as swearing and being envious of a neighbor who lives life freely, etc. She wakes one day to find the God Alexa has stopped working. This is due to the space storm strike but you as the viewer had to come to that conclusion as it's not revealed in the actual story. She goes to the Scientology hub to get a replacement God Alexa and is shipped an Alexa God 2.0. Aside from being already annoying, it now includes unwanted ads & commercials that you have to pay premium to turn off. This new upgrade is even worse and starts charging her with ridiculous sins fees. It refuses to turn itself off when commanded so she throws it out of the window. That's it; that's all that happens in that story.
Story 4: Shadow Walker The Stalker A guy is in love with his girlfriend and he uses a VR headset and program called Shadow Walker to electronically stalk her when she's with him or not with him. He is obsessed with recording their lives together and is constantly rewinding & replaying their past. His VR avatar appears as a shadow that's very pixelated and it follows his girlfriend who turns out to be his ex-girlfriend. She broke up with him because he was obsessed with recording everything about their lives and she gets a restraining order against him. He ignores the order and shows up at her door. They argue, she electrocutes him with a stun gun, he runs off. The story ends.
Story 5: We Immortal, You Ain't A handsome guy brings his girlfriend home to meet his parents and sister. He warns her that his mom can be overbearing and judgmental but she'll be fine. They're having dinner around the table and the mom starts telling him his girlfriend isn't worth his time and it's pointless to date her since they are inexplicably immortal (no, it's never explained why or how they are immortal) and the girlfriend is a mere mortal who will eventually get sick and die on him. The mom demands he breaks up with her and finds someone more like them. He refuses and informs them that he loves her, intends to marry her, and is planning on giving up his immortality to be with her (apparentlyit's something you can turn on and off). The mom gets angry and they all argue. The girlfriend goes outside to smoke and the house all of a sudden goes black from being hit by one of these space storms I assume (I'm just trying to tie these stories together). She goes back into the house and sees his family has him tied to a chair with wires pinned to his head. A few minutes later, she runs into him in the hall and calls out to him. He introduces himself to her as if it's his first time meeting her. His family has wiped his memory and reset him; he no longer knows her. The story ends.
Story 6: Rent A Body An older creep pervert decides to hire a young teen girl through Craigslist so he can rent her body. It's apparently a future thing where you can rent out someone's body and insert your mind into their body so you can be them. He arranges to meet her at a hotel to do the body exchange for a few hours. The teen girl decides to do it so she can save enough money to move out of the trailer park where she and her horrible mother live. Her mother appears to be an emotionally abusive and manipulative drunk.
The teen arrives to the hotel where she is greeted by a woman who informs her to strip and lay on the bed so she can prepare her body. The woman has already prepped the pervert creep man and he is asleep on the other bed and covered in black goo inside a black body bag.
The woman smears the same black goo over the teen girl and explains to her that she'll basically be going to sleep while the man takes over her body. The teen girl gets into the other bed and inside another black body bag. Some type of organic plant vine is attached to the teen's bag and to the pervert man's bag and it starts moving around in each bag. The woman wakes the teen & unzips her bag. It is now the pervert man inhabiting the teen's body.
The woman advises her/him that he'll have her body for 48 hours and then will wake up. He/she gets locked out of their room while trying to get more details from the woman & he/she goes to front desk to get a key. He/she meets front desk clerk guy who invites her/him to a party. The man showers as the teen girl & plays around with her body (yep, he does the self love thing with her body). He/she gets dressed & goes to the party the desk clerk setup.
He/she meets some wild women & a weird guy who invite themselves back to the teen's hotel. She/he goes inside & hurriedly rolls the pervert man's body off his bed & hides him under the bed. She/he then lets the party group inside the room. They all drink, dance, & do drugs. The teen girl/pervert man passes out. He/she wakes to find the weird party guy on top of him/her trying to remove her panties and rape her but she fights him off. He beats her up and knocks her out. One of the party women comes in and fights the weird guy to get him off the teen. She goes through the teen's purse and finds her id that shows she's only 17. The woman panics and wraps the teen in the black bag. She/he is then seen being carried back to her trailer park; her face is bruised and beaten and she's semi-conscious.The party woman places her/him on the ground next to her trailer park door and runs away. The story ends.
Story 1 wraps: The Last Mechanic The space mechanic's daughter Emma is outside drawing with chalk on the ground. An EBS emergency broadcast system alert is flashing across TV screens. People are seen running to underground shelters. They are pushing and shoving each other to get into the bunkers. A stranger woman sees the young girl Emma and asks where her parents are. She tells Emma to come sit with her in the underground bunker. We then see huge meteors hurtling towards and crashing into Earth. Soon the entire planet is ablaze and fiery as it's being destroyed. From the last mechanic's POV, we see the Earth destroyed. He ponders how is it that he ends up being the last person on Earth. We then hear the Alexa God AI voice telling him that he did indeed hear him, was too busy earlier to answer him right away but he's here now and asks how may I help you. The last mechanic in disbelief says, "Are you f#@*ing kidding me!" Credits roll.
