In a world where madness intertwines with daily routine, a desperate woman, Misty, finds herself trapped in an oppressive and boring suburb under the yoke of a possessive mother and the tedium of her life. Everything changes when a furious confrontation with her mother drives her to flee, leaving behind everything she knew. In her desperate quest for freedom, she encounters a gang of misfits and fetishists in a strange and deranged corner of society, where normality is but a vague memory.

This new environment is a blend of liberation and chaos, where each character is stranger than the last, including a maniac dressed as a policeman, a young woman escaping oppression, and a mysterious king who takes decadence to the extreme. Misty finds a sense of belonging within the group, but also faces a series of absurd and surreal situations that challenge any notion of logic. With burlesque touches, drastic decisions, and an aesthetic reminiscent of underground cinema, Misty's relationship with her new companions will lead her on a journey of self-discovery and affirmation.

As the plot unfolds, the line between madness and reality blurs, offering a provocative look at the dynamics of power, oppression, and what it truly means to be free. Amidst dark humor and the grotesque, Misty must decide whether her new life is truly the salvation she has longed for.
