This collection of five short films artfully portrays desire's ability to both empower and destroy those who encounter it.

Host Scott Forrest presents a curated compilation of eight independent short films in this rapid-fire science-fiction feature. Genres collide, narratives twist, aesthetics clash, and even humor, both campy and dystopian, showcase the vast creative possibilities of each story's individual world, offering the viewer a brief glimpse into the lives of every character's attempt to survive the otherworldly chaos around them. Released in 2001, the selected shorts span original creation dates of 1997 to 2001; most of the featured filmmakers also appear as themselves in short video interviews to talk about their inspirations, creative process and motivations while working on their individual shorts.

A lost and fragile rent boy meets a wealthy man playing out a lonely game. Over one night, their lives intersect in unexpected ways, blurring the lines between betrayer and betrayed.
