When the elderly Mr. Green, a retired dry-cleaner, wanders into the street one day and is nearly hit by a speeding car, the young man driving is sentenced to six months of community service. Ross Gardiner, a young corporate executive, is now obligated to help Mr. Green with his household chores once a week. This proves to be a difficult task; Mr. Green is stubborn, set in his ways and usually at odds with Ross. However, as Ross’ visits continue, Mr. Green becomes more open and friendly towards the young man, and the two men start to discover the startling amount they have in common. When a revelation startles Mr. Green back into his reactionary attitudes, it begins to seem that a friendship is impossible. But Mr. Green has a secret as well, and it quickly becomes apparent that neither man can come to terms with himself or his past without the support of the other.

On one side of the road is a gas station run by four happy-go-lucky guys who provide service with a smile. Opposite, the Cupp sisters own the diner where fun is always on the menu.
