The world's best video gamer goes to a mysterious facility to test out a new video game in development called "Save the Watermelon". But it soon becomes clear that the game is a mask for something much bigger. Twist after twist as the layers go deeper and deeper until finally... well, we honestly have no idea what's going on in this thing.
