Quirky, offbeat tale of a biracial young man eager to escape his dysfunctional family and feelings of alienation. His travels to the city, where his troubles follow him. After a series of frustrating, obsessive/compulsive, half-comic encounters, he meets Ms. Right and vows to fashion an enduring relationship with her - provided he can find the meaning of normal.
