Vicky’s Big Break

DONATE NOW

Synopsis

Aspiring actress Vicky Price is, essentially, an affirmation chanting doormat. With a roommate who’s trying to “nice guy” his way into her pants, a fuck-buddy who’s more interested in his followers than a relationship, and a controlling step-sister walking all over her aspirations to be a legitimate actress, it’s no surprise that Vicky can’t catch a break in Hollywood. 

But, one night, Vicky’s luck changes for the better or for worse. After a creepy douchebag harasses her on the street, she slaps him and shoves him off of her… and into the path of an oncoming truck! SPLAT! 

Suddenly, Vicky’s a killer. But instead of feeling shame or guilt, a repressed psychotic furry bubbles to the surface, taking on the form of a rude, trash talking beanie! Yes, we mean a talking hat. That claps back. Hard.  And it’s the very beanie she low-key collected as a trophy off the head of ‘dat. Dead. Douchebag.  Beanie acts as the devil on Vicky’s shoulder, and with no angel in sight, Vicky exacts her revenge on all those who’ve abused her, exposing them for the dirtbags and hypocrites they truly are. With each shithead Vicky sticks it to she discovers more of her inner power and her authentic self. 

Unfortunately, there’s a reason Vicky’s anger was repressed. Like a blood-thirsty snowball rolling downhill, Vicky’s rage grows until she succumbs to her homicidal urges, taking to the streets in a murderous rampage that culminates in a blood soaked musical nightmare.
