Entitlement crashes into grease-stained reality.
Jack has never worked a day, burning through his parents' nest egg on an online fixation while they cover every cost. The night his father hits the floor, he stays glued to his screen instead of calling for help. His mother responds by selling their home, pressing five hundred dollars and a single key into his hand, then vanishing from his life. Penniless and hungry, he drifts into Hank's repair bay, where the owner puts a wrench in his palm and expects results. Surrounded by oil and exhaust, the weight begins to drop as he learns what it means to earn his keep.
