The story centers on Theo, who ambitiously leaves his family home seeking independence but quickly confronts the harsh realities of adult life, unpaid fines, court-ordered therapy for his anger issues after a road rage incident, a soul-crushing job, and scamming schemes to save his impounded car. Meanwhile, Theo’s dying father faces his own urgent quest to find a kidney, adding depth to the family drama. Through a series of absurd encounters, scams, and therapy sessions, Theo gradually learns that despite his chaotic struggles, family remains central to his life.
