Dave and Adam have a meager existence as prostitutes in Toronto, when Dave receives a call from a friend in Sudbury. They must rush off in hopes of saving her. Adam spends most of his time writing comic books and is retelling his story as Strongman and Quickboy, as they fly of to Nebulon 5 to battle Xenon and save Princess Ariana. He has also brought along his video camera to capture the action. These two narratives coexist along the road, till they meet King Kipling, who crystallizes their concerns through pop philosophy and changes the course of the tale. The music of cougar party plays alongside the trip.

The feature was a community effort made on a very limited budget of $750.00. The video was shot on evening and weekends in Toronto and on the road to Sudbury during the fall of 2006. The main actors are Matt Thomas (Adam/Quickboy), Richard Fourhier (Dave/Strongman) and Paris Cameron-Gardos (King Kipling) each in their first major roles. Sholem Krishtalka executes all the illustrations.
