Plot
Storyline
A frustrated young man afflicted with polio works as a paralegal for a corrupt lawyer. He gets passed onto him the technique for a strange power by a dying man, which turns him into an oil based superhero/villain.
A desperate, polio-afflicted legal clerk gains the ability to transform into a literal puddle of sentient, murderous oil. He seeks violent retribution against the greedy corporate interests and street thugs who have systematically dismantled his life and violated the people he loves. The city feels thick with humidity and corruption, a backdrop for a man who is physically broken but supernaturally lethal. It is a fever dream of black sludge, high-stakes coconut oil manufacturing, and the crushing weight of systemic cruelty.
