Alex Gregory is a 16-year-old boy. One night, while his mom was on a date because his dad ran off with his third-grade teacher, he decided to get wasted and he took his mom's car to pay his father a visit. The next thing he knows is that he hit a lawn gnome and puked on a police officer. To pay back the $500 Alex has to do 100 hours of community service at a nursing home. He is assigned to an old man who has the ability to make a volunteer worker play the guitar. Alex is frustrated by Sol, but the judge will not change his assignment.
