SYNOPSIS

A former priest who lost faith in the church, Junior Rose has become a plumber, but instead of the simple life he envisioned, his new occupation reveals an unexpected danger: a foreign fungus plugging sinks all over the city. 

Accompanied by his only companion Cherry, an AI enhanced drone, the plumber slowly gathers evidence to support a bizarre theory: the fungus is a threat to humanity.

The death of his mother and a recent divorce have left Junior emotionally isolated, but despite the warnings received from Cherry and Suzi, his ex-wife, the former priest’s obsession swells at an alarming rate. Encouraged by the ghost of his father, a recently deceased rock star, Junior’s world slowly spirals out of control.
