While searching for answers about the hitman sent after them, and getting dragged into delivering a Komodo Dragon to a kid’s birthday party, Charles (Justin Chien) and Bruce (Sam Song Li) fight for their lives against a group of killers all dressed up in inflatable dinosaur costumes brandishing machetes (which somehow goes completely unnoticed by the guests).
