CUFF Secret Screening!
Doom and gloom are on the way. The Y2K apocalypse can't be stopped. Abbie's older brother issues him the ultimate challenge before it goes down: beat the infamous level 256 in Pac-Man and no getting up from the couch until he does so. Abbie’s survival story begins here; inside a rotting living room with no food or water, and a revolving door of numb-nut friends and acquaintances. It’s THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL by way of SLACKER.

"Outrageously perverse: from piss to Pac-Man, from Faygo to JERRY MAGUIRE, the cacophonous gnarly lot of it colliding into something wildly, happily unique"- Calum Marsh, VILLAGE VOICE
