Plot synopsis[edit]
Dim-witted, but good-natured Morgan (Hopper Jack Penn) finds himself constantly taken advantage of by everyone in his life, including his family. In an effort to find friendship, and maybe love, he befriends a drug-addicted prostitute named Carla, played by Paz de la Huerta.
They eventually wind up homeless in his vehicle, where she continues to do drugs, though, "smaller doses, more times a day" due to Morgan's attempts to sober her up.
Throughout the film, Carla serves as motivation for Morgan to get a steady job and grow into manhood. Carla, continues her destructive pattern, but leaves Morgan with a renewed sense of confidence and self-determination.
