In 1987, 17-year-old Ricardo (Jean-Carl Boucher) is graduating high school and facing the usual teen challenges, such as making money, trying to lose his virginity with his girlfriend, and getting a car. After Ricardo and his friends fail to get into a bar, he decides to open a discotheque for teenagers under 18 years old. In order to raise the funds, he gets a job as a valet at an Italian restaurant on the same night that he was supposed to have sex for the first time with his girlfriend. On his first night, he accidentally destroys an expensive car and is fired. He is then left without a job and only $30 until one night, he and his friends discover an expensive radio inside a car. They then decide to steal radios and make money from them.
Prom night comes around, but Ricardo and his girlfriend get into a huge fight and Ricardo instead goes drinking with his friends.
