An entitled adult son is abandoned by his parents and forced to rebuild himself through manual work.
At twenty-nine and three hundred fifty pounds, Jack has spent years draining his parents' finances on a camgirl while refusing to help when his father suffers a medical emergency. His mother responds by selling the family home, leaving him only five hundred dollars and a key before severing all support. Stranded without money or friends, Jack finds his way to Hank's auto shop where he begins the slow, grinding process of reconstructing his life from the grease pit upward.
