Les Hackel (James Marsters) is not in a good place. He is trying to stay sober, but his girlfriend just left him, his tedious office job is sucking the life out of him, and he is stuck living with his parents. After people around him start literally blowing up, Les discovers a bomb has been surgically sewn into his neck. Then, he gets messages telling him that if he wants to live, he has to do whatever he's told. Now he is a hostage on a high-octane mission where he is made to do horrifically violent acts. He crosses paths with a mostly-terrifying cast of characters, including other bomb-filled eccentrics, torture-happy police officers and a possible love interest.
