Idle Hands

In the quiet suburban town of Maplewood, sixteen-year-old Alex Carter lives a life marked by laziness and lack of ambition. While his friends, Brenda and Kyle, are busy planning their futures, Alex prefers to spend his days lounging on the couch, scrolling through social media, and playing video games. But when a mysterious family heirloom—a weathered, ancient glove—unexpectedly falls into his possession, everything changes.

Little does he know, the glove carries a sinister curse that ignites an uncontrollable desire for chaos within him. As Alex goes about his mundane tasks, his idle hands unwittingly unleash a sequence of bizarre events. Seemingly harmless at first, his newfound affinity for chaos spirals into a series of comical but dangerous incidents: locked-in friends, runaway pets, and inexplicable pranks that leave the town bewildered.

When the glove awakens the darker side of Alex, he finds himself face-to-face with a supernatural force that thrives on idleness. As he grapples with his own lethargy, Alex inadvertently binds his fate to the spirit of a long-lost trickster who wants nothing more than to stir up trouble. Together, they wreak havoc that disrupts the lives of everyone around them, putting a strain on Alex’s friendships and family relationships.

As the mischievous spirit encourages Alex to push boundaries, he must confront his own fears and ambitions. With Brenda and Kyle noticing his alarming behavior, they attempt to pull him back from the brink, leading to a series of hilariously chaotic attempts to retrieve the glove and sever their connection. The trio embarks on an adventure filled with twists and turns, uncovering not only the mysterious origins of the glove but also their own dreams and insecurities.

“Idle Hands” explores themes of ambition, self-discovery, and the consequences of idleness, all wrapped up in a lighthearted supernatural comedy that blends laughter with a touch of horror. Through Alex’s journey, viewers are invited to reflect on the importance of taking action and pursuing one’s dreams—before it’s too late. As the stakes grow higher, can Alex reclaim control of his life, or will idle hands lead to more than just mischief?
