Plot :
Gloria is an unemployed writer struggling with alcoholism. Her errant
behavior prompts her frustrated boyfriend Tim to break up with her and
kick her out of their New York City apartment. Forced to move back to
her Middle American hometown, Gloria ends up reuniting with her
childhood friend Oscar, who now runs his late father's bar. Oscar is
warm and welcoming to Gloria; he brings her an old television for her
unfurnished house and also offers her a job at the bar to help her get
back on her feet, which Gloria accepts.
Working with Oscar at the bar does not help Gloria's alcohol problem.
After each shift she joins Oscar and his friends Garth and Joel in
their ritual of hanging out and drinking until morning. Gloria takes to
sleeping it off on a bench near a children's playground. At the same
time, a giant reptilian kaiju appears in Seoul, South Korea,
leaving death and destruction in its wake. Gradually, Gloria realizes
that when she walks through the playground at exactly 8:05 in the
morning, she causes the monster to manifest.
Gloria reveals her secret to Oscar and his friends, but the situation
becomes more complicated when Oscar steps onto the playground and
causes a giant robot to manifest in Seoul. Gloria ultimately tries to
make amends by spelling out an apology on the ground, to the delight of
the South Koreans and the media, and she begins to avoid both the
playground and alcohol.
After spending the night with Joel, Gloria discovers that a drunken
Oscar is using his avatar to taunt the South Koreans. After a tense
confrontation, Gloria manages to make him leave. Oscar, for his part, is
jealous that something happened between Gloria and Joel. Later that
night at the bar, Oscar drunkenly insults his friends and demands that
Gloria have a drink. Oscar threatens Gloria to obey him, saying he will
return to the playground if she does not. The next morning, a sobered up
Oscar confesses his remorse and pleads with Gloria to forgive him.
Gloria accepts his apology, but it is clear that Oscar continues to want
to control her.
Tim shows up in town on a pretense in order to see Gloria. Oscar
provokes a confrontation that ends with him setting off a large firework
inside the bar. Oscar explains his performance by saying that, no
matter how out of control he may become, he knows that Gloria will
remain under his thumb. Later, Oscar shows up at Gloria's house, telling
her he is there to prevent her from calling Tim and going back home
with him.
A flashback to a freak incident with lightning that strikes both
Gloria and Oscar when they are kids passing near the playground area
reveals to Gloria how she and Oscar are able to manifest their avatars
in South Korea. Gloria also realizes why Oscar acts out in violence and
manipulation – he hates himself. Gloria resolves to leave town with Tim.
Oscar, intending to make good on his threat, heads for the playground.
When Gloria follows, Oscar beats her, leaving her on the ground while he
terrorizes Seoul.
Upon returning to her house, Gloria has another realization. She
contacts Tim to apologize and say that she cannot join him; she has
taken a plane to South Korea. Once again at 8:05 in the morning, U.S.
time, Oscar causes the giant robot to manifest in Seoul. As she heads
towards Oscar's avatar, Gloria causes her monster to appear again, this
time at the playground. Clutched in the kaiju's giant hand, Oscar is
vicious and controlling to the end, telling Gloria to "put me down, you
fucking bitch!" At that, the Gloria/kaiju throws Oscar causing the giant
robot to disappear from Seoul.
Her mission accomplished, Gloria retreats to an empty bar. Settling
into her seat, Gloria promises the young woman serving drinks an
incredible story. Offered a drink, Gloria simply lets out a long sigh.
