Hopelessly stuck in a dead-end job and forced to move in with his disapproving mother-in-law, Eddie Mathews sets out to make his Hollywood dream come true -- urged on by his imaginary villainous companion, who wants to be brought to life.

A broke bobble-head telemarketer with an active imagination has a compelling original idea for a horror TV pilot. With a baby on the way and finances tightening he is forced to move in with his combative mother-in-law who hounds him to get a better paying job instead of chasing an unlikely film career. When a former Hollywood legend stumbles into his life, he realizes this may be his last shot at pulling it off.
