Sixteen-year-old Kip works odd jobs found on the app Go-Go Gopher, usually helping with grocery shopping or furniture building. When he's hired by Sheila to quickly pack her belongings into her car, Kip learns that she's leaving an abusive husband.
Later, as Kip is telling his girlfriend Bez about the experience, he realizes he's still wearing Sheila's backpack. Soon Sheila is blowing up his phone, asking where the backpack is. It belongs to her husband, and he's having a meltdown. Kip and Bez open the backpack and discover it's stuffed with cash...too much to be from a legitimate source. Hoping to protect Sheila, Kip and Bez work together to hunt down the source of the cash.
