Boys Go To Jupiter

Something is rotten in the state of Florida. It’s the day after Christmas, and the deadness of the year hangs in the swampy air. We’re in the suburbs with Billy 5000, an aimless teen doing his best to fill his days and fill his pockets. Billy has just dropped out of high school, and he’s content to spend his time slacking, shoplifting, and occasionally making a delivery for a food-on-demand app.

The gig economy has its ups and downs, and it brings Billy into contact with a series of oddball characters, some of them harmless and others quite menacing. But if he can pull together a quick $5k before New Year’s he’ll have what he needs to get his life on track. He’s got it all worked out.

The cosmic forces in charge of Florida have other plans for Billy. During a routine fast food drop off, he becomes the caregiver of a bizarre donut-shaped creature from another world. Things spiral from there, and Billy finds himself having to make hard choices about love, friendship, and the most important thing of all: cash money dollar bills.

It all swirls into a dreamy doming-of-age story packed with heart, humor, and banger musical numbers. Hang on to your segway, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
