An obese 29-year-old is cut off by his parents and must survive through manual labor.
Jack has spent nearly three decades consuming his parents' resources without consequence, his existence defined by a camgirl obsession funded by their credit cards. The breaking point arrives when his father suffers a medical collapse and Jack refuses to leave his screen to help. His mother responds by liquidating their home, handing him five hundred dollars and a single key, then vanishing from his life. Stranded without food, friends, or skills, Jack drifts into Hank's auto shop. There, the grease pit becomes his classroom, offering a raw chance to construct a self that can finally stand alone.
