PlotNoah, an aimless college student living with his mother, agrees to babysit three rambunctious kids: Slater, Blithe, and Rodrigo. What starts as a simple babysitting job quickly spirals out of control when Noah's girlfriend, Marisa, tempts him into picking up some drugs for her from a dealer named Karl. Noah reluctantly takes the kids along for the drug deal to appease Marisa, dragging them into a chaotic and dangerous night across the city. Along the way, the group encounters eccentric personalities and ends up in numerous misadventures, including run-ins with the law.
As the night progresses, Noah's challenge becomes not just about surviving the evening but also protecting the kids in his care. Their antics bring them closer, forging an unconventional bond amid the chaos. Noah finds himself growing into a more responsible and determined individual, all while navigating their way out of increasingly complex situations. The journey ultimately forces Noah and the kids to confront their personal issues and growth in unexpected ways.
