- Two brothers spend the day driving around Los Angeles county looking for the meaning of their lives, or cheap street drugs, depending on who you happen to believe.
- Michael Brown's birthday begins with a telephone call from his estranged, drug addicted brother Tobey. Tobey is totally unaware that it is his older brother's birthday, but he is very aware that his car is broken, and he begs Michael to drive him on various apparently legitimate, vital errands. As Bruce Springsteen has astutely noted, "a man who turns his back on his family just ain't no good". So Michael puts off his seemingly romantic birthday plans, and with his brother embarks on a sketchy, meandering day long odyssey though the mysteries of Los Angeles County. As the day wears on, it becomes clear that this drive will lead them to some very unexpected destinations.—Passenger Side
- Thirty-seven year old Michael, a writer, agrees to drive his thirty-five year old brother Tobey, a recovered junkie, on a series of errands through the Los Angeles area for the day as Tobey's car is out of commission. Beyond a job interview, Michael expects the errands are mundane everyday tasks like going to the post office. After the first few stops, at which Michael is to sit in the car while Tobey does his business, Michael comes to the quick realization that these errands are not mundane in nature, and believes Tobey may be trying to score some drugs. Tobey eventually divulges the nature of his singular mission for the day. Although Michael doesn't fully support Tobey's mission, he agrees to continue chauffeuring Tobey to the end. This singular task is not as easy to accomplish as it appears on the surface as Michael and Tobey get into one misadventure after another. But during their day together, the brothers are able to talk about the current state of their individual lives, Michael's which takes on special meaning in light of Tobey's mission.—Huggo
