A group of teenagers making a no-budget heist movie are forced to pull off a genuine heist, when the memory card containing their film is taken by the callous manager of a shopping mall.

Carter is a shy movie theatre clerk who gets set up for a date by his coworker, Aria. Later on his way home, Carter buys a packaged meal of chicken fingers from the local corner market, where he meets a strange man working the till. That night, Carter is rocked by ass-annihilating gastrointestinal carnage. And the emergence of an egg; inside, a strange creature, which he names Xavier. Xavier quickly grows, and feeds even quicker. On the eve of his big date, Carter struggles to keep the beast in check - and the girl from being eaten alive.
