The Story
It's New Year's Eve at a swinging local bar. Patrons are dressed to the nines, looking dapper, and drinking in the New Year. We meet Roger, Gwen, and Marc, our main characters who all work as chefs at the same restaurant. As the night goes on, Roger gets more and more intoxicated and his eyes start wandering. See, Roger has a problem. After one too many drinks he turns into a creeper and aggressively hits on women.
The next day it's New Year's Brunch, and our trio comes into work the worse for wear. Even though all are hungover, Roger starts talking like he's right out of Shakespeare's cannon. Gwen and Marc think he's still drunk, but once Roger faints and wakes up as a demon spouting Elizabethan verse, they realize he has been placed under an ancient curse.
The oblivious brunch manager, Toby, keeps popping in to check on his employees to make sure they're getting ready for the soon to be packed restaurant as Roger begins bleeding from his ears, the curse slowly taking over.

Gwen and Marc brainstorm ways to break the curse, and as Roger's demon begins taking over and attacking his friends, they come up with the brilliant idea to Google it. As Gwen wrestles Roger down, Marc finds a way to cure "The Creeper's Curse" by clicking a "remedy link", and out of the blue a troll named Festivo delivering a parcel with an ancient scroll.
Might they have found the cure? Or will Roger destroy the entire kitchen before brunch begins?
