A man wakes up in a room that is completely empty. He has no need for anything. He has everything he needs within him. In a physical sense. A series of zippers gives him access to everything he needs, stored inside his body. This self-sufficient organism is thrown into chaos when a foreign body, a mouse, falls into one of his pockets. The animal roams freely through the body of the protagonist who engages in a struggle to death with him.
