When twelve-year-old Ambrose is almost killed by bullies at school his life changes forever and not necessarily for the better. His overprotective mom refuses to let him leave the apartment and his new upstairs ex-con of a neighbour, Cosmo, soon becomes his only ticket to finding some fun; scrabble. This unlikely duo joins a scrabble club. One has hopes of winning a scrabble championship and the other has hopes of impressing a girl, all of which much happen on the fly from Ambrose’s mom.
