Frankie Freako

Conor Sweeney is a workaholic yuppie stuck in a rut, spending his days at the office and his weekends catching up on chores. When his girlfriend Kristina leaves for the weekend, he comes across a television advertisement for a late-night party hotline run by a strange dancing goblin named Frankie Freako. Conor calls the number, and the promise of wild fun turns into an ordeal: small otherworldly creatures arrive and wreck his home, forcing him to fight them off and clean up the mess before Kristina returns.
