Four inhabitants of a crumbling world, each with a story of their own:
- A drug-addled boy, living in dank recesses, sets out in an ancient car to find his ex, who has mysteriously vanished overnight.
- A privileged girl, obsessed with the past and exiled by her esteemed father, learns more about her long-vanished ancestors than she ever could have wished for.
- An old man, on his 100th birthday, deserts his quiet post as an elevator operator, climbing the great shaft in hopes of seeing the fabled topmost level before he dies.
- And a fisherman, seeking answers to why his once-vibrant wife is now chronically ailing and wasting away, begins a quest to find and confront the god of all gods.
These stories intersect and wrap around each other, revealing deeply disturbing truths about the artifical world they inhabit.
