In the summer of 1994, the streets of New York are pulsing with the sounds of hip hop and the sweet, sweet aroma of marijuana. Luke (Josh Peck) is a socially uncomfortable teenage pot dealer, with no friends, who trades weed for some sessions with his therapist, Dr. Squires (the great Ben Kingsley).
Dr. Squires, whose much-younger wife (Famke Janssen) is slipping away, joins Luke on a quest to get laid. The duo traverse New York, meeting some of Luke’s ‘business associates’ – a dreadlocked pixie (Mary-Kate Olsen), a New Wave keyboard-playing one-hit-wonder, and his dealer (Method Man). Luke, meanwhile, has a massive crush on Squires’ step-daughter (Juno’s Olivia Thirlby).
