Benny's dad has always liked clutter but now he begins hoarding everything from pizza boxes to old motorcycle parts. As his house grows more cluttered and his father grows more distant Benny tries to sort out whether he can change anything at all. Meanwhile a local teacher enters their quiet Missouri town in America's Most Charming Small Town contest and the pressure is on to clean up the area especially Benny's ramshackle of a house before the out-of-town guests arrive.
