After the latest bender, on his way home in the middle of the night, Barry, a drug-addicted father and husband, is kidnapped by an alien spacecraft. An alien, after a series of procedures, takes possession of his body and begins wandering the desolate streets of Cape Town, learning about the weird and fascinating habits of humans. Following the pattern of a lysergic road movie, Barry gets involved in activities never tried before, such as smoking meth or going to a rave, in what can be called a cocktail of sex and violence. However, the alien could not imagine the physical limits of the human body.
