When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble. Twenty years later, the trio still uses the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. But when their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio decide to hire a washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator to bring him to life.
A child filmmaker has nearly completed her 8mm opus when a strange and monstrous face appears during the film's edit. It's in the projection. It's engrained in the stock. And before long, the monster materialises in her world.
