After waking up one fateful morning, a human named George discovers that Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic alien race/corporation called “The Gleebloys.” With the help of a ‘therapizing’ alien named Ruben, the two must piece together what led to the planet’s destruction. The more they learn the more things start to feel very, very strange.

In 1906 Sweden, Captain Lars Larson (Knute Erickson) goes on a sea voyage, leaving his wife (Marcella Daly) behind expecting their first child. Unbeknownst to him while he is at sea, a bitter rival kidnaps her and makes it look as though she left him willingly. When he returns and discovers their home abandoned, he all but goes mad with bitterness and rage, destroying their home. In the years that follow, Larson becomes a sadistic, drunken reprobate of the sea, working for smugglers carrying all kinds of illegal cargo, including drugs -- and human cargo.
