Much to his dismay, Isaac's parents decide to leave his older brother, Josh, in charge while they're out of town. Determined to turn Isaac into a man before his upcoming bar mitzvah, Josh pushes the introverted and nerdy Isaac to complete a series of increasingly perilous and misguided "masculine" tasks. Isaac's witty voice crafts a humorous and surprisingly poignant tale of imperfect brotherhood.
