Jonathan's family discovers the fish's power and becomes consumed by their desires, using the fish's magic to manipulate events in their favor. With each reset, they increasingly abuse this power, indulging in greed and selfishness.

However, Jonathan, who has always had a deep love for animals, begins to see the dark consequences of their actions.

Synopsis: 
In a neon-noir world, we tell the story of Leon and his father Ike (aka King Wray) - a notorious cult musician who concealed his face with a mask.

Ike suffers brain injury from an overdose that confines him to a wheelchair. Meg – the record label owner – convinces Ike to hide the truth – thus King Wray disappears into oblivion. Sixteen years later, Leon – a wanna-be musician who moonlights in a small kiosk – has reconnected with Ike following his mother’s untimely death, but their relationship is strained.

With the record label facing bankruptcy, Meg wants to release a King Wray ‘retrospective’ album, but Ike considers it the tombstone on his already stunted career. Desperate, Ike makes Leon an outlandish proposal. To wear the mask and imitate him onstage, while he sings from behind the scenes - together faking a King Wray comeback.

Leon resists - scared his father will re-lapse, but with assurances from Meg and the promise of a record deal, he agrees, and they go on tour. It begins well as Leon rises to the challenge, but he soon discovers that Ike has relapsed. Instead of trying to stop his abusive father however, Leon is hooked by his new-found-fame and ends up joining him instead.

This collective abuse reaches a head when Leon is forced to take over the singing as King Wray, making Ike jealous. His abuse worsens, until Leon finally stands up to his father, destroying his prized vintage guitar and attacking him backstage.

In the fallout, Ike ends the tour for good. In a bid to continue the show, Meg betrays Ike and offers Leon the chance to go solo as King Wray, and thus Leon must choose between his father, or the mirage of fame. Instead, he chooses neither, blowing the lid of the entire charade, and pulling himself and Ike out from underneath the toxic mask of King Wray.
