An Astrologer, a Closet Satanist, an Inuit Opera Singer and a WebCast Diva. A typical Berkeley California household is forced indoors during an unexpected citywide lockdown initiated by the federal government. The webcast diva thinks the Feds are shifting into a fullblown police state. Her roomies think she's paranoid. Havoc and hilarity unravel as they all race to their own conclusions about what they think is happening during their current state of escalating uncertainty.
"This film offers many of the virtues found throughout Alli’s canon: subversively funny dialogue, an inventive musical score by his reel-life/real-life collaborator Sylvi Alli, and the ability to connect loose threads of intellectualism and emotions into a body of maturity and grace. The challenge of perceived and genuine threats posed in this film clearly parallels the logic that lead to the Iraqi fiasco (the phony insistence of WMD and Saddam Hussein’s al-Qaeda support); it also reminds us that no one was ever arrested for the anthrax poisoning of the U.S. postal system in 2003."

Filmmaker Commentary
"This was my response to the tragically absurd political climate of the GWB era. Sometimes the only way to get through the hell zones is by laughing it off. And since I'm more of a laugher than a weeper, it was only natural to make a comedy, a very dark comedy."
--- Antero Alli
