While pilfering data from a research facility, Amanda finds that the facility ran by the autocratic Dr. Thomas Abernathy (Malcolm McDowell) is about to "void" the earth. If it were not for flat screens and cell phones you would think this was a fifty's sci-fi. Oh yes they throw in cuddling scenes with bodies in the au natural. There is a "hole" lot of sucking. But is there a solution?
