An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result.
Rotoscoped animation turns every frame into a shivering, hallucinatory fever dream that blurs the line between reality and paranoia. This psychedelic trip captures the terrifying moment an undercover agent's own sense of self begins to dissolve into the drug haze.
