Mikey Saber (Simon Rex) is a washed-up former porn star who returns to his hometown in Texas City to crash on the couch of his estranged wife Lexi (Bree Elrod) and her mother Lil (Brenda Deiss). While he tries to make an honest living, nobody will hire him due to his porn career. He ends up selling weed and later meets a teenager named Strawberry, with whom he becomes attracted to. He starts a relationship with her behind Lexi’s back.

Mikey disregards Lexi’s feelings, especially when she asks for his help in pleading a case for custody of her son, and he also lets their neighbor Lonnie take the fall for a massive pile-up they cause while driving on the highway. When Mikey plans to return to California with Strawberry to get her into the porn industry as a comeback for himself, Lexi and Lil have his weed dealer’s daughter and son rob Mikey of his money, save for $200, and they order him to never return.

Mikey walks out of town with only a few possessions, and it is unknown what becomes of his relationship with Strawberry.
