Description:

Joel Goodson is a high school senior who seems to have it all together – good grades, busy with activities, and always responsible. When his parents go on vacation, he’s left with the house and their Porsche, and his carefully constructed sense of responsibility begins to crumble. He enjoys newfound freedom with friends, but a minor accident with the Porsche leaves him short on money for repairs. He decides to take a risk and start a business to earn the funds, pushing himself beyond his comfort zone. Joel’s experience becomes a story about growing up and questioning societal expectations. The film balances humor with moments of self-reflection, showing one young man's journey toward independence.
