The action takes place in an eerie anarchistic future civilization, after a great collapse or war.
A young man, Allan (Bentein Baardson), decides to move out of the town where his family lives.
He takes his wife, Lisa (Petronella Barker), and his son to a large garbage dump outside the town.
In the London Docklands, the area at the time consisted of many unfinished apartment buildings and houses ready for demolition.
These settings created the sad and depressing impression of the urban civilization of the future that the film sought to portray.
