In the rust belt, Stanley (Richard Jenkins) works at Oscar's Chicken and Fish. He has done so for 38 years. He didn't graduate the class of 1971, but wears the ring as if he did. He has saved up so he can buy a car and drive to Florida so he can take his mother out of a nursing home. He has given noticed but must first train Javon (Shane Paul McGhie) who is on parole. There is a generational and racial difference that we see, but the two are both wage slaves to the system.
The film was timely, but not hard hitting. It shows the nuances of racial divides as it pertains to a common class and educational struggle. No real climax.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
