His father, who has failed in a variety of business endeavors, now owns a liquor store and is verbally and physically abusive to his only child. Josh's mother sees life through a vodka cloud and spends her time in front of a television set. Josh, a sensitive soul, sneaks into nursing homes pretending to be kin to lonely, elderly patients who eagerly await his visits. When he is no longer sure what he is going to do next or where he is going to live, Josh meets Manny, a funky, self-sufficient woman in her thirties who is searching for her boyfriend, Patrick.
