18-year-old Robert (Daniel Zolghadri) wants to be a comic book artist, but not superheroes, more of the underground and animal type art like R. Crumb meets Donald Duck.He decides to run away instead of going to college, so he moves into a crappy apartment in Trenton, New Jersey. Working for a lawyer, he meets Wallace (Matthew Maher), who was a colorist on his favorite comic book. Robert desires art lessons, Wallace desires justice for his rash behavior.
