Dan is an immature man stuck in the responsibilities of adulthood, with his life on the brink of falling apart. His girlfriend, Naomi, is quickly losing patience with his inability to handle even the most basic tasks. He has two distinctly dysfunctional friends and a stagnant teaching job where he reluctantly repeats the same lesson each day. Despite this, his classes are inexplicably popular with all but one student. The only bright spot in his life is Miss Lipsey, the headmistress, who regards Dan with a mix of sympathy and frustration. To add to his troubles, Dan is constantly tormented by his eccentric father, whose main goal seems to be to embarrass his son at every opportunity.
