Robert Mutt has never had it easy. His family thinks he’s a retard, the neighbours think he’s a pervo, and almost everyone else thinks he’s a total douche bag. He’s failed at everything, including his own suicide. If that wasn’t enough, he’s just been kicked out of the only place where he’s ever felt at home: the depression ward of the Riverside Mental Hospital... for being too happy.
Still, Robert is determined to prove he’s a somebody and embarks on a journey to attain the three keys to success: some money, a girl, and a championship ring. This sets Robert on a madcap adventure involving a drug racket, a roller-skating transvestite, a bar-mitzvah and a neighbourhood group hell-bent on his castration - all of which leads to heartbreak and unexpected triumph.
