Chuck requires visitors to leave their phone and keys in a mailbox. He lives by lantern light and keeps groceries in an ice filled cooler. His paranoia of electromagnetism leaves him confined to a dark house with the belief he will get better, while Jimmy is forced to support both Chuck and himself.

In an attempt to make a little money, Jimmy reaches out to two skateboarders who attempted a hit and run shake down earlier. He enlists their help to go after Betsey Kettleman, the county treasurer's wife, whose route to pick up her kids intersects with a blind corner and plenty of witnesses.
