Evan (Evan Sneider) is a young man with Down syndrome who lives with his mother, Celeste (Amanda Plummer) in a working class, small town. When he unexpectedly comes into a large amount of money, he uses it to romantically pursue a young mother, Candy (Shannon Woodward), who is still entangled in her previous relationship with her abusive ex-boyfriend (Jackson Rathbone).
The film's original score features the work of 100 Monkeys, a band that includes the film's stars Jackson Rathbone and Jerad Anderson.
