A young man, Andrew, looks back on his early post high-school years, as he balances work, attending community college and dating, while living at home with his mother and grandmother. He is anxious to find his way in the world while feeling he lacks any sort of guidance, with his home and his immediate neighborhood offering the only stable references in his life. This changes as the city considers an industrial expansion at the end of his block and the actions of Andrew inadvertently contributes to the death of the city manager. The stable environment that Andrew had relied upon for comfort seems to erode immediately and his dread of change must be confronted.
