Plot summary

Pandy and Retro, two unlikely renegades, awaken naked on Earth with no recollection of their past. After embarking on a devastating crime spree for food, clothing and transportation in downtown Tokyo (which lasts for a minimum of five minutes), they are captured by authorities and sent to the infamous lunar prison called Dead Leaves. Once incarcerated, they orchestrate a mass prison break and discover the secret work being carried out at the facility. Over the course of the film we discover that Pandy and Retro were spys working for the facility and the crazed warden is trying to get revenge on Pandy by recreating a deranged fairy tale she remembers from her child hood. In the finale Pandy has a Retro's child who comes out with twin machine guns and blows the warden away. A giant worm, part of the demented fairy tale begins consuming the station until the mutant baby sacrifices himself so that his two parents can live. The film ends with Pandy and Retro crashing in the middle of Earth's dystopian metropolis in their escape pod.
