18-year-old Lake (Pier-Gabriel LAJOIE) discovers that he has an unusual attraction for the elderly.

Upon discovering that the clients are being over-medicated to make them more manageable, Lake weans Mr. Peabody off his medication and helps him escape, resulting in a road trip that deepens their bond.
