Synopsis
Bob Ferguson is a burned out former revolutionary who now lives in paranoia and isolation with his young daughter. Years after abandoning his militant past, his old enemy resurfaces and kidnaps the girl, forcing Bob to reconnect with former comrades from his radical activist group. As they launch a desperate mission to rescue her, the story unfolds into a chaotic blend of political satire, action, and dark comedy. The film explores aging revolutionaries confronting the consequences of their past ideals while navigating modern political extremism, surveillance, and ideological warfare. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, the narrative mixes emotional father-daughter drama with explosive action and biting commentary about activism, power, and the lingering ghosts of past revolutions.
