In this dreamy and surreal animated coming-of-age story, set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s, Billy 5000 is a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space. Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy, Billy must save Donut and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company.
