## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A dungeon of copper tubes hisses inside a rotovator. Burger-helmeted invaders land in New Zealand, hungry for fresh protein. The Astro-Investigation crew storms the factory while an aid worker scavenges coins in the crossfire. Jackson’s debut slings home-made gore like a drunken schoolboy with a Super 8.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, pitch-black, playful, unhinged
