During the past decade, many film festivals have been brightened by the lively short films of Austin-based fraternal filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner. In a return to long-form filmmaking, the Zellners tell the twisted comic saga of a nameless 30-something loser (David Zellner), a high-strung office worker in the midst of an ugly divorce, legal headaches and career setbacks. The sudden disappearance of his only trusted companion - his beloved cat Goliath - triggers his emotional tipping point, sending him on a mission of vengeance.

During an opulent and luxurious banquet, complete with cavalier servers and valets, eleven pampered guests participate in what appears to be a ritualistic gastronomic carnage. In this absurd and grotesque universe, an unexpected sequence of events undermines the endless symphony of abundance.
