In the vibrant, chaotic world of fan conventions, a group of washed-up former celebrity guests hatch a desperate plan for revenge and redemption. Ryan Kwanten stars as Keith, a once-popular TV star now relegated to the smallest panels, who teams up with his equally disillusioned friends—a cynical comic book artist, a struggling actor, and a quick-witted booth manager played by Maggie Grace. Their target is the convention's smarmy, egotistical host, a legendary game show icon portrayed with delicious villainy by John Malkovich. Fueled by equal parts frustration and opportunity, they plot to rob the notoriously greedy promoter, played by Clancy Brown, during the event's biggest night. This raucous R-rated comedy from director Zak Knutson plunges viewers into the absurd underbelly of fan culture, where faded fame collides with desperate ambition. As the crew navigates cosplay chaos, overzealous fans, and their own ineptitude, their simple heist spirals into a wildly unpredictable adventure, proving that at this Supercon, the real action is always behind the scenes.
