About
*Underplugged* follows a speed-freak subterranean’s restless battle with the Menace, a dark force symbolizing the essence of chemical dependence, as he experiments with various hallucinogenic and depressant compounds, reported via radio and television transmissions, punctuated by asides from his drug-induced alter ego, Agent K. Oss. Alongside his partner Sierra and longtime friend Darcy, he chases the elusive Terminal Zero headspace, a “cure-all” for addiction, while dissociated vignettes sketch grotesque caricatures of modern society, each more disordered than the last.
