A comic drama about a time in the near future when citizens are happy to be property traded on the stock exchange.
In a future sterilized world, a city without a name is peopled by a population that are all bar-coded on their wrists and are monitored by MMM, the Multi-Media Monopoly a global corporation that runs the country like a business. Sex in this culture is for commercial reasons and those are tied to the continuance and thriving of Capitalism. Jack (Bill Sage) works at the MMM corporation and is conspiring with William (Leo Fitzpatrick) to sabotage the MMM corporation where Jack is an account manager with Cecile (Sabrina Lloyd). As Jack and Cecile make attempts at an office romance, William and some cohorts get caught in an act designed to bring down the MMM. When Jack and Cecile's affair stalls and Cecile goes to a bar for a drink, she accidentally connects with William and they spend the night together. Jack has another conspirator in the Medical industry who calls him about a girl that has been brought into the hospital and goes by the name Monday because she's from the planet of Monday. Monday (Tatiana Abracos) has come to this planet to communicate with Jack as he too is an escaped being from that planet. Jack it turns out has been here for quite some time and has experienced all the changes that have allowed him to adapt to the present society so that no one is aware of his origins. When the MMM discovers Jack and Cecile's romance she is sentenced to 3 years hard labor, teaching high school where she encounters William and decide to join forces with him to help overthrow the MMM. Jack and Monday come to an agreement about their origin on the planet Monday and Jack must make difficult decisions to insure his future and Monday's happiness.
In the not-distant-future, the market has taken over everything, thanks to the marketers. The consumer is king, and those who see value outside of the marketplace are "enemies of the consumer", terrorists, and "partisan" enemies that the state must dispose of. Protagonist Jack seems to be at one with the media corporations (after all, his marketing ideas led to the institutionalization of the exchange of sex for enhanced buying power), but is he somehow involved with the feeble and pathetic resistance movement? Does he love Cecile, his colleague, or is she a pawn in his game? And what of the mysterious girl from Monday? Are immigrants from the star system "Monday" really assisting the partisans?—Martin Lewison <[email protected]>
Some time in the future United States, a being from another planet (Abracos) arrives on Earth and takes human form.
In voiceover, Jack Bell (Bill Sage), an advertising executive, explains how his ideas came to bring the "triple M" into power and reduce human beings to mere consumers, pawns of the corporation. Flash-forwards show his visit to a "gun boutique" to buy a pistol, and a suicide attempt in his car.
The innovative idea Jack contributes to Triple M is that, since sexually active people are the most active consumers, people will record each of their sexual encounters as an economic transaction. This will increase their desirability rating, their value as sexual commodities, and therefore also their credit rating. Because of its direct relation to one's credit rating and buying power, insurance policies covering a person's sexual desirability are available.
To give himself an alibi during an action he planned for the counter-revolution, Jack attempts to hook up with his co-worker Cecile (Sabrina Lloyd) but loses heart, leading the insurance company to investigate why this happened. Jack claims that he has been unable to have successful sex since his wife drowned in the ocean. The insurance agent decides it's not Cecile's fault and her premium remains the same, while Jack's is raised. Meanwhile, the planned counter-revolutionary assault on Triple M headquarters is somehow thwarted, and the counter-revolutionaries go on the run. The news broadcasts claim two people were killed, and the police start a manhunt for the perpetrators.
By chance Cecile meets up with William, young leader in the counter-revolution, who takes her to a place where people have sex just because it feels free and good. Cecile is arrested for having non-economic sex, now criminalized under Triple M, and sentenced to "two years hard labor... teaching high school". The classes are taught through virtual reality helmets, while the students are all legally armed and drugged daily with anti-anxiety medications. Coincidentally, William is one of Cecile's students. Cecile reads Henry David Thoreau's book Walden, passed secretly to her by William, and is inspired to join the counter-revolution.
Meanwhile, Jack drives to the beach where his wife apparently drowned. He overdoses on pills and vodka, but loses consciousness before he can shoot himself. William finds him, thinks him dead, and takes the pistol to continue his counter-revolutionary activities. When Jack regains consciousness he finds the girl from the planet Monday (named after its discoverer, Vincent Monday, explains Jack in voice-over) arising from the water. He secretes her at home and teaches her how to fit into human society. The girl calls herself "Nobody;" she has arrived to retrieve an earlier "immigrant" from her planet. Several coincidences and adventures later, including a threesome between Jack, Cecile, and Nobody, a police raid on a dress boutique, and Nobody prostituting herself to Cecile's high school principal to get Cecile released from jail, Nobody is convinced her mission is a failure and she decides to go home.
Jack, it turns out, is also an "immigrant" from that planet, and has tried and failed to go home. They proceed to the ocean, where the girl walks into the water and disappears. Jack says he doesn't know if she made it or not.
