The story

The film begins with an oscilloscope display of the waves of radio announcer Grant Mazzy's radio monologue.

At the radio station, Grant's shock jock style and on-air persona entertain his technical assistant, Laurel-Ann, while irritating his station manager, Sydney.

He describes the rioters as trying to eat one another or even themselves.
