Synopsis

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. Our little hero, Billy 5000, is an aimless teenager 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. It all swirls into a dreamy coming-of-age story packed with heart, humor, and banger musical numbers.
