Plot[edit]
Sala (Sam Voutas) , a writer, has just finished his Saul has just finished his magnum opus: A tell-all novel about the secrets of Motorkore - an automobile company Sala believes used real people as crash test dummies in the 1920s. After prolonged partying with Abby (Melanie Ansley), who he believes is his girlfriend, he gets a phone call from Motorkore asking him to meet up with them. He plans on looking for a publisher when he gets a phone call from Motorkore asking him to come in for a meeting. After unsuccessfully attempting to sway Sala into buying the rights for the book to save the reputation of Motorkore, Sala is drugged by Motorkore employee Limbo Jack (Steve Van Spall) and ends up at the surgery table.
Sala, now shaved completely bold, is forcedly turned into a human crash test dummy and is renamed 171096 by Motorkore employee Valeriy (Melanie Ansley), who is revealed to have gone through several facial reconstructions after a horrific car accident as a crash test dummy. Valeriy had portrayed Sala's girlfriend Abby to stay on top of his literary process and keep Motorkore informed.
17109 is forced to undergo training to become a respectable crash test dummy, as Valeriy and Limbo Jack makes him jump head first into a large brick wall, first with supportive mattresses and later without. When not practising to become a crash test dummy, 17109 is imprisoned alongside 47109 (Bruce Solibakke), a wise and experienced man who has been Motorkore's crash test dummy for two decades. 47109 teaches his co-dummy how to survive and thrive in his new environment, such as advising him to hold on to his memories to keep his sanity and think of his biggest crush when behind the wheel to make the process less traumatic.
After several weeks as a crash test dummy, 17109 is patiently planning his escape from the walls of Motorkore. 47109 aids 17109 by showing him how to controllably stop your pulse, and in the process escape the facilities as Motorkore employees believe you are dead. After 47109 successfully makes the great escape, 17109 decides to attempt the same the following evening. After stopping his pulse and turning stiff and cold, Valeriy and Limbo Jacks throws the seemingly dead 17109 in the river before 17109 escapes through the sewers.
After a short period in freedom, Sala / 17109 is re-visited by Valeriy but is better prepared this time. Sala places Valeriy in the passenger seat, gets in the driver seat and points to the different large trees in the vicinity. Sala asks Valeriy to make one final choice in life; Which tree they should crash into. As a shocked Valeriy fails to make her choice, Sala decides on a large oak tree, goes full throttle and crashes into it.
