Winky Flint is looking forward to his son Jeb taking over the register at his convenience store near Natural Bridge, Virginia. But 17-year-old Jeb is busy trying to get into the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. As the two wrestle over Jeb's direction in life, Jeb's mother is preoccupied with finishing her G.E.D., his sister Wanda is just trying to get Winky's attention, and his brother Kenny is doing his best to avoid detection as he sells pot out at the air pump.
