In the days leading up to his 19th birthday, Smith, a bi-sexual college freshman, has a number of sexual encounters with strangers and comes to learn of his place in a global conspiracy involving a supernatural, apocalyptic cult, in Araki’s camp, knowingly naff, irony-drenched pseudo-sci-fi flick, which might prove hilarious for similarly aged students under the influence of various psychotropic substances, but will likely leave the rest of us decidedly cold.
