Plot

Larry, a middle-aged man, is unexpectedly laid off from his long-term job at a retail chain due to a lack of a college education. Struggling with a mortgage and unsure of his future, he decides to reinvent himself by enrolling at a local community college. There, he becomes friends with a diverse group of students and adopts a new outlook on life. Larry also takes a particular interest in a public-speaking course taught by Mercedes, an apathetic and disillusioned professor who is dealing with her own personal issues.

As the semester progresses, Larry's interactions with his classmates and professor lead to significant personal growth. He adopts a more modern style, joins a scooter gang, and becomes more confident. His relationship with Mercedes evolves as they both find themselves inspired by each other’s presence. Just as Larry begins to see the possibilities of his new life, circumstances force him to face a series of challenges that test his resilience and newfound optimism.
