Not only is the script incomprehensible, the film wasn't edited or directed -- it was crammed into a Cuisinart.

A half hour in and still, the plot, tone, and setting are incomprehensible.

He (Eric Blakeney) shows real promise with clever dialogue and plotting, and especially with creating a gallery of intriguing characters.
