Synopsis

To  hotshot  ad  exec  Dennis  Bagley  (Richard E. Grant), people are pathetic sheep to whom he  can  sell  anything  except  a  brand-new pimple  cream.  Creatively blocked, Dennis becomes so stressed that he sprouts a pimple of his own a pimple that eventually  grows  into  a huge   head...   with   a   mind   and   a  voice! Before long, the sassy carbuncle takes over Dennis' life, revealing to him a diabolical plan  to control  the  masses.  Now  Dennis  must  find  courage  deep  within himself to save society and himself from the beastly blemish!
