Wheeler e Danny sono due rappresentanti di una bevanda energetica chiamata Minotaur, svolgono il proprio lavoro in maniera svogliata cercando di vendere la bibita nelle scuole. Danny è stato appena lasciato dalla fidanzata, perché ritenuto privo di gioia di vivere, mentre Wheeler vive alla giornata senza la ben che minima intenzione di maturare. Dopo una sbronza, i due vengono coinvolti in una scazzottata con l'aggravante di oltraggio a pubblico ufficiale, per non finire in prigione accettano di prestare servizio presso un centro di ragazzi problematici e disagiati.Le 150 ore di servizio che li aspettano, saranno un percorso di grande cambiamento per Wheeler e Danny, soprattutto dall'incontro con Augie e Ronnie, un nerd con la passione del giochi di ruolo e ragazzino di colore con manie da bullo. I quattro impareranno a conoscersi, stringendo una profonda amicizia che li porterà verso la maturità.
