Can there be anything more boring the bridge? Its a card game for the dead or soon to be dying. Alton Richards didn't bother to find a job this summer, so now he is stuck driving his Uncle Lester to bridge club three times a week, and turning the cards for him as he plays bridge. Uncle Lester is an ungrateful, old, blind guy with a ton of money, some of which Alton's mom hopes Uncle Lester will pass on to them when he passes on. Mom's only words of advice are "Don't screw this up Alton!" Its not like Alton is missing out on anything this summer, he already lost out when his girlfriend Katie dumped him for his best friend Cliff. Will there be any escaping the worst summer of Alton's life?
