Struggling to find purpose, Dude partners with his uncle Dave, the leader of a cult, to devise a comic yet desperate plan to steal valuable merchandise from a nearby amusement park.

As the botched robbery attracts unwanted attention, chaos escalates in the town, leading to increasingly bizarre and violent scenarios. The intertwining plots of incompetent terrorists, government agents, and locals create a web of absurd confrontations and dark humor. Dude becomes inadvertently entangled in a series of highly outrageous situations that force him to confront the mounting pandemonium around him. As events spiral further out of control, the narrative ramps up in its satirical and provocative commentary on societal issues, culminating in an explosive climax.
