Plot

When average, law-abiding citizens suddenly turn to a life of hedonistic behavior and violent crime, Detective Tom Beck is tasked with helping young FBI agent Lloyd Gallagher determine the cause.

Sinekatalog’s take

A cop and an unusual federal agent chase a force that turns ordinary people into violent thrill-seekers. It is a lean, fast B-movie that mixes sci-fi, buddy-cop humour and nasty surprises. Lively and inventive, it is a treat for genre fans.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
