In a surreal and satirical world, a refugee family from Absurdistan accidentally sets their new home in the United States of Fabrica on fire, only to discover that Fabrica’s firefighters are utterly useless and don’t know how to turn off fire caused by a spice from Absurdistan. As chaos unfolds, three bumbling firefighters from Absurdistan embark on a bureaucratic and comically impossible journey to reach Fabrica and put out the flames—if they can ever get past the red tape.
