In a society living in box car apartments, encircled with darkness and polluted with neon lights and scaffolding, glowing eyes creatures take on a journey to free themselves from their personal demons. They must leave their dark habitats and venture into even darker corridors, tunnels and underground passages of their worlds in search of relief. Along the way they will be constantly tested by their demons, trying to derail them from their path. Not knowing the way forward, the creatures are relying on their instincts not to get lost in the darkness. In the belly of the underground, there lies the great stone gates, guarding the portal to never ending isles of glittering Shopping Mall and streams of glowing liquid to quench their thirst under the colorful lights of Night Club. Not knowing what lies beyond the shining portal, they venture forth into the unknown to find out if what they want is what they really need.
