Spoilers ahead
As summer’s warm rays approach, Dexter Reed, a quintessential slacker, seizes the opportunity to borrow his mother’s car, eager to escape the drudgery of high school. However, his carefree joyride takes a dramatic turn when he accidentally collides with his strict yet fair teacher, Mr. Wheat, in a minor car accident, leaving both shaken. Lacking a valid driver’s license and insurance, Dexter faces a troubling potential jail sentence. Fortunately, Mr. Wheat, surprisingly compassionate, proposes a deal: if Dexter pays for the damages, starting at a staggering $1,900—soon to balloon to $2,500—he can avoid the slammer.
