They work day-to-day in their boring, endless jobs, which ends up with them getting in a fight with a tow-truck driver. They choose community service over jail and are assigned to be 'big brothers' - Danny to Augie, a geek who loves to LARP (Live Action Role Play), and Wheeler to Ronnie, a pint-size foul-mouthed kid. After a rocky start, things start to go well until both Danny and Wheeler both make big mistakes.
