Plot Summary

-SPOILERS-Three children, Alice, Hazel, and Jodie, pull off a heist to steal a new video game console from a warehouse. When they find their TV has been password locked by Hazel and Jodie's sick mom, they agree to bring her a blueberry pie in return for the password and two hours of playing time.After finding the bakery out of pies, and eventually prying the recipe from the baker who is home with a fever, the kids proceed to "borrow" all the ingredients from the local supermarket, only to have a man, John Redrye, steal the final ingredient they need (an egg, speckled for good luck).They track the man back to his cabin where he reunites with the Enchanted Blade Gang, a group of poachers and taxidermists led as a magic cult by their leader, Anna-Freya.When the kids attempt to steal back the eggs from Redrye's truck, they are almost found out and obliged to hide in bed of the truck, going to the mountain for the gang's attempt to bag the Prince of the Mountain, a giant elk Anna-Freya is obsessed with killing. Unbeknownst to all of them, Anna-Freya's young daughter Petal has also stowed away, desperate for a chance to spend time with her mother.In the mountains with no way home, the kids decide to track the gang and steal back the eggs. Eventually teaming up with Petal, they succeed in distracting the gang and finding the eggs, only for Hazel to succumb to hunger and a bottle of liquor, cracking and frying the remaining eggs in the night of the night.Once the gang learns of the kids, and moreso learns that they know they are poachers, they abandon their hunt for the elk and focus on detaining the kids, presumably with the intention of killing them, especially in Redrye's case. The chase takes them to a local bar in town where Petal knows a chicken who lays speckled eggs is.The owner of the chicken offers the egg for $30, and when they kids can't pay he makes them dance for him and his friends (at this point it is 4am). The dance is fun and joyful and the kids expect the egg in return, only to be told the price has changed to $100. They kick him in the crotch and steal the egg, only to be caught by the bar patrons, who intend to beat them up, only for the Enchanted Blade Gang to show up and fight the bar patrons.When the Enchanted Blades win the fight, Anna-Freya tells them they took everything from her that night. They kids tell them they only wanted the egg, and Marty (played by the director and writer, Weston Razooli) clumsily drops the egg and it shatters on the floor. Anna-Freya threatens to bite off the children's fingers, but before she can, Petal disarms Marty and Hazel uses the gun to force their escape.Unfortunately, the police have been tipped off that the kids who stole the game console from the warehouse are at the bar, and they catch the kids before they can escape. Before they are driven away, they point out the poachers to the police, and as the police are arresting the Enchanted Blades Gang, Petal frees them from the police cruiser and they escape.Back home, Petal reveals she stole another egg from the chicken, and the kids enthusiastically bake the pie for their sick mom. She eats the pie, welcomes Petal into their house, and finally gives the TV password to the kids, who sit down and play their game surrounded by a feast.
