Synopsis:
On a near future dystopian Earth, the elite hunt plebs for fun. A team of hunters suffer a fatality, and whilst remaining members return to base, one of them - Vasil - decides to stay in the pleb city a bit longer. After various events, he ends up at a marina, where he causes a massacre. Two mute lesbian plebs plot to exterminate the elite with a doctored virus that only kills caviar eating people. A member of the elite buys himself the title of King of Abdul City, and organises to send his three sons away from exploited Earth to become custodians of another goldilocks planet, using spaceship Pendulum, designed by his paralysed genius son Kieran. Two volunteer detectives investigate the marina massacre, and follow a trail to Abdul City, whilst spacetime manipulator Fi plans to pay a visit to the Pacific Ocean.
Several interlinked story lines follow various characters, amongst which a talking cyber chihuahua, a horny mermaid, a drag prince, mute lesbians, a paralysed prince and Omar, the self-serving PA of the fake king, untill they all find themselves as passengers on the Pendulum.
