About this episode

In a psychedelic wasteland, the last sane humans scavenge for survival until the laws of logic return.

In a psychedelic wasteland where the laws of cause and effect have dissolved into non-causality, the last "sane" humans must scavenge for survival until the terrifyingly rigid laws of logic suddenly return.
