Billy Crumpus has never been the confident type. A socially awkward college student with a goofy charm that never quite lands, he hits rock bottom after a humiliating encounter with a group of girls at a party. Seeing their friend spiraling, Billy’s ride-or-die duo Sonny and Dee decide it’s time for drastic measures. Their plan? Take him to the one place that’s never let them down: the chair of their favorite barber, the wildly eccentric and possibly deranged Mick.

What starts as a simple haircut quickly spirals into a surreal nightmare. As Mick’s behavior grows increasingly unhinged, it becomes clear he may be hiding something far more sinister – possibly connected to the recent disappearance of a local college girl. Trapped in a barbershop turned battleground, Billy is forced to confront more than just his insecurities. On the worst day of his life, he might finally discover what he’s been missing all along.
