John Self (Dominic West) is addicted to the twentieth century. Porn addict and dabbler of wealth and women, Self is a renowned fast-food junkie where money in your pocket beats out common sense. In New York City, mingling with the big shots, he’s making a fortune, but spending more than he earns. He’s in deep with the wrong sorts (including loan sharks), and the brutality of money’s monopoly in the West’s perpetual money conspiracy is killing him. He doesn’t even know it.

Weapons are like money; nobody knows the meaning of enough
