Plot

Jerry Arthur is a 40-something guy who is stuck in a dead-end door-to-door sales job for a local publishing company, where the only sales pitch he’s usually able to get out before having the door slammed in his face is, “My name is Jerry.” He also has a strained relationship with his teenage daughter, Trisha.
Jerry’s life changes when he stumbles into the wrong house on his way to a party and meets 20-something punk rocker Jordan and her crew. Jordan creates a spark in Jerry’s once-boring daily routine when she takes him on a journey through her world that brings life back into his job and his relationships.
