SHORT SYNOPSIS

Seemingly normal, one Asian American male hides a deep hatred of society and humanity and an equally deep obsession with masturbation and violence. Drifting through rich suburbia, he wants to create his own reality but knows he is confined within American societal norms. Instead, he reflects on the ugliness and shallowness of life around him, and becomes increasingly disturbed over his own loneliness and alienation. Throughout the stages of his existence, he remains a complete outsider, failing to make emotional contact with anyone. He knows and we know that there is only one way to put an end to this hell.

I'd like to meet:

Like-minded / open-minded individuals.
