There's nothing Jake likes more than some good trash-picking, so when his elderly neighbours move out and leave an especially promising-looking pile of household refuse on the curb, he goes right for it. He only has the chance to grab one box before his mom catches him and orders him in for dinner, though. When mysterious goings-on begin to occur in the neighbourhood, the trio investigates the hidden box from Jack's garage. In it, they find the secret parent's handbook and with it all the means to subvert the irrational rules and petty tyranny of their home lives. No more clean rooms. No more vegetables. No more brushed hair or washed hands. It's all videogames and junk food all the time. But the authorities and the resistance have taken notice of the strange goings-on in jack and his friends' neighbourhood and they are closing in.
