In the future, a private detective tries to stop a large corporation from mining an element whose side effects include igniting human flesh and destroying internal body parts.

In 1983 a group of young, would be filmmakers set out to make a science-fiction/detective film in southern New Jersey called, HELLFIRE. It was finished and released as PRIMAL SCREAM. Then completely forgotten. Until now. Three of the filmmakers, director William Murray, editor Keith Reamer and DP Dan Karlok take to the road to reconnect with surviving members of the cast and crew of this quirky, DIY film. To document their experiences, and try to get to the heart of meaning that lives in the shadows of a shared creative endeavor.
