Story

"One night of excess, a chance at fame, and a life on the brink of collapse."

Ricky, a 30-year-old police officer, rents a hotel suite beyond his means because he is celebrating a role he will play in a big Hollywood movie. He decides to spend money on alcohol and food while spending the entire night recording Instagram Live videos for his "fans," showing them the room and talking about what he will be doing in the movie. The night slowly unravels as various people call him, some to congratulate him, others to reprimand him for his negligent behavior.
