Mark's excitement comes to a quick halt when he comes down from cloud nine and remembers one minor detail - he doesn't have his driver's license. He's tried five times and five times has failed. He needs to make this happen now! And so the wild ride begins." Giambrone plays Russell, "Mark's vertically challenged best friend." Chris Gauthier, Nicole Muñoz, Tiera Skovbye and Kurt Ostlund also star.
