A transgender man, known only as Professor, wakes up in a research facility deep within the center of the Earth. He only vaguely knows that he's there to research a horrifying and violent incident that led to the deaths of all researchers within the facility.  As he attempts to deal with the symptoms of decompression sickness he sees his fondest memories, of Coney Island Freaks Shows.  When Professor meets the sole survivor of the incident he is suddenly left questioning everything around him.  What's real, what's fantasy, who can you trust?
