A bunch of excessively millenial L.A. millenials break up and get fired and vocally fry at each other. The main girl plays piano badly, and then has terrifying visions of a smokey, dead Leland Palmer. She books a probably-haunted house online to get away from all the millenialness, and heads out to the dusty California hills.

We meet the T-1000, who gives a literal anti-millenial monologue to the camera, and then she pulls up in a Prius with a Coexist bumper sticker, blaring a track called My Vag on the stereo. The T-1000 asks for a $60 deposit and she asks if she can Venmo him, because it the film's main theme is ha ha, millenials. T-1000 dreams of a naked Blue Lady Group in an art gallery. T-1000's haunted house has a grand piano, which she plays badly while T-1000 has visions of his wife slitting her own throat on the piano bench.

T-1000 declares his intent to kill someone, and stalks around the house rather obviously while the girl does a bunch of millenial things. T-1000's ghost wife whispers warnings at him, so he goes down to the dungeon to stab a family friend to death, then yells about millenials at the camera again. The girl goes on a date at the local cowboy bar, and T-1000 stalks her. T-1000 watches her date attempt to roofie her, so he follows the date home to hammer him to death. He finds a random woman tied up and tortured in the date's shower, and hammers her to death, too.

The girl goes home alone and drops acid that she bought from a useless millenial at the abandoned car wash. She hallucinates her dad, Leland Palmer, who killed himself in the intro. The T-1000 cuts power to the house and begins the thankfully brief Home Alone hijinks. Oh, I never mentioned the subplot of the hippy mom and her useless, spiritual, millenial boyfriend who are now on their way in an old Beetle to save the day.

T-1000 captures the girl, dresses her up in his dead wife's dress, and sits her at the grand piano. She accuses him of cultural appropriation. He's haunted by the zombie ghost of his dead wife, and then becomes the first person to tell her that she sucks at piano. Mom pops in and shoots T-1000 dead. The daughter scowls an insult against boomers into the camera, in case you still haven't figured out that the whole shtick is generational differences.
