Synopsis

A middle-class family spends the day together purchasing items in anticipation of the arrival of a new baby. We follow them into a consumerist dreamscape that soon dissolves into something nightmarish. Things take a violent turn when the patriarch of the family is confronted by a group of masked vigilantes.
