Plot – The homework that Eugene, a social studies teacher, gives his middle school students is worthy of a dissertation or the Nobel Peace Prize: think of a way to change the world and put it into practice. Trevor gives it a try. The boy's family life is not entirely rosy: his father is away and his mother Arlene has two jobs, drinks too much and her hair is always in a mess. Trevor proposes that everyone should do three favors to three different people who, in turn, must repay the good deed by passing it along to three more people.
