JR is a fatherless boy rising up within the glow of a bar the place the bartender, his Uncle Charlie, is the sharpest and most colourful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. Because the boy’s decided mom struggles to offer her son with alternatives denied to her — and depart the dilapidated residence of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father — JR begins to gamely, if not all the time gracefully, pursue his romantic {and professional} goals, with one foot persistently positioned in Uncle Charlie’s bar.
