Jack Palmer is a social worker whose job is to help four mentally challenged men live regular lives in a home. Norman, works at a donut shop and has a thing for keys; Barry, thinks he is a golf pro and doesn't communicate well with his father; Arnold, has a habit of spending money; and Lucien, who is into Spider Man and must testify before the state senate. Jack wants to help them, but he also thinks it is time to move on with his life.
Rated PG for thematic elements.
