Luke, 25, is autistic and lives a sheltered life with his grandparents. But his world is suddenly turned upside down when his grandmother dies, and he goes to live with his dysfunctional relatives, who have no patience for him or his senile grandfather. Before he is committed to a nursing home, his grandfather offers this final message to Luke: “Get a job. Find a girl. Live your own life. Be a man!” For the first time in his life, Luke has a mission. He is about to embark on a quest.
