Synopsis/Details
Randy Aldean, an unaccomplished gas man, fantasizes about a more exciting existence when he finds out that his live-in girlfriend, Frankie is barren. Following an intense panic attack at work, he schedules a pool installation instead of fixing the foundation of the house, which leads to him being swallowed up by a sinkhole that spits him into a paradoxical reality where all his dreams come true. But soon, the new world turns into a hellish cycle of vegan dinners, ultra-freaky sex, and knockdown, drag-out fights with a disobedient son who he suspects is half dog. Randy packs his scooter to go, embarking on an adventure that promises to reinstate his old life… if he rectifies his own missteps.
