A drug-fuelled game show and a long lost father are the last glimmers of hope for a young woman named Gene.
In a sarcastic version of our world we follow Gene, a young woman who dreams of dancing but is instead trapped at home by a delusional Mother. However, a once in a lifetime opportunity means Gene finds herself slap bang in the middle of a Dance Marathon Competition, where there is not only the allure of drugs, but also the chance to reconnect with her long lost father.
