Hal Hartley takes a humorous and satirical look at a society
concerned only with instant gratification and voyeuristic sensationalism.
Disgusted with human evolution, a foul-mouthed Monster (Robert
Burke) kills anyone who crosses his path. When a news crew sent
to investigate the Monster disappears, a guileless young woman
(Sarah Polley) dispatched to follow up on the story befriends
the Monster and becomes his only hope in ending his life of misery.
