The story centers around Dewey Winfield, a lovable loser, who wants nothing more than to beat the guy who has bullied him since childhood in a big fishing tournament. In order to come up with the tournament's entrance fee, Dewey takes a job watching over the eccentric characters at a run-down assisted living home. The seniors here have been living under an abusive caretaker and yearn for a chance to have some fun. The fun comes when Dewey offers to take them all fishing. However, he only makes the offer in order to impress Monica, a school counselor representing the adopt-a-senior program at the local elementary school. When Monica visits with little Billy, she mistakes Dewey for a caring, competent caregiver... Once on the boat, Dewey's true colors shine through - and Monica sees what a moron he really is. The stakes are raised when Dewey's incompetence brings attention from state authorities and the assisted living home is threatened with closure. With no family and no other place to go, the seniors face an uncertain future. When one of the seniors decides to help Dewey in a big way, a plan is developed to help him win the fishing contest. The seniors come together for one last time, and together with Dewey, they realize how much they really need each other.
