This is a film about crusts; loners on the edge of society. Beetle is a crust, and having lost the world of friends he used to know, he makes a fated attempt to make some money. The aftermath takes him into the land of the Throth Plains, a world of dreams, drugs, music, and thematically linked narratives.

"Beetle is a crust, and on the throth plains of England, everyone eats their crusts."
