Something is rotten in the state of Florida. It’s the day after Christmas, and the deadness of the year hangs in the thick swampy air. Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett), an aimless teenager, is content to waste his potential and fill his days working as a delivery driver. During a routine dropoff, Billy becomes the owner and caretaker of a mysterious egg which hatches a creature from another world. Everything quickly spirals, and Billy is soon forced to make some hard choices about life, love, and the most important thing of all: money.
“The voice cast — which includes Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Joe Pera, Cole Escola and Elsie Fisher — is a who’s who of weirdo comedy all-stars, adding to the charmingly strange vibe.” (Frederic Boyer, Tribeca Film Festival)
