Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) stars as seventeen-year-old Jones, and aspiring writer who shelves plans for college and rents a room in a boarding house, where is the quirky tenants teach him a lot more than any classroom ever could. Between bouts of longing for his mother’s (Elizabeth Perkins) love and his father’s address, he fantasizes about enhancing his romantic prospects. First, he buys a bed from the oversexed Ma Mabley (Deborah Harry), who offers to help him break it in. Before long, he becomes involved with struggling actress Lisa (Mandy Moore, A Walk to Remember). However it’s the enigmatic Jane (Franka Potente, The Bourne Identity), a photographer, and a few years older than he, who really gets his pulse racing. When Jane has a car accident and her ex-boyfriend shows up on his motorcycle, things get complicated. Jones enlists the aid of Brad (Aaron Pearl), his wacky downstairs neighbor, and they concoct a scheme that could get him what he wants... and a lot more!
