Monty (Edward Norton) takes his dog for a walk in New York. During the day, he visits his old friend Jacob (Philip Seymour Hoffman) at his former school. Jacob works as an English teacher in it, and his female student Mary (Anna Paquin) is very active in class. And Monty and another friend of Jacob's Frank (Barry Pepper Barry Pepper) are busy working in the company. The cause of the incident is that one afternoon, Monty came home and found his girlfriend Naturalle (Rosario Dawson) waiting for a long time at the door of the house. While the two were flirting in the bathtub, the police suddenly knocked on their door. The drugs that Monty had hidden in the sofa are found. He was therefore charged and sentenced to seven years in prison. Monty is only a few hours away from going to jail, and he begins to wonder if his girlfriend has betrayed him. Monty went to his dad, the two talked a lot, and then a group of them went to the bar, but accidentally met Jacob's schoolgirl, Mary. 24 hours have passed and the next hour, Monty is about to start his prison career...

Mary D'Annunzio: I wanted to know why I got a B minus on my paper.
Jakob Elinsky: You got what you earned.
Mary D'Annunzio: Nobody else in that class can write! You know it! I know it! Everyone knows it!
Jakob Elinsky: Don't worry. You're not competing with them.
Mary D'Annunzio: Yeah. But I am. Okay. I am competing with them. When you apply for college, you might have heard of this, they look at these things called grades and if your grades aren't good enough...
Jakob Elinsky: Your grades are going to be fine.
Mary D'Annunzio: Vincent Phiscalla writes a story about his grandmother dying and you give him an A plus. And meanwhile, the night of the funeral, you wanna know where Rhodes Scholar Vince is? Getting smashed at a basketball party and slapping girls asses. I mean, what is that? A charity A+? You wanna know why everybody always writes about their grandmothers dying? It's not because it's so traumatic. It's because it's a guaranteed A+! And you sit there all sentimental "Oh, Vince it was very powerful, very moving." No, it wasn't. You didn't care. Nobody cared. That's what grandmothers do. They die!
Jakob Elinsky: Sometimes, guys have a hard time showing their emotions.
Mary D'Annunzio: So, slapping my ass is a way of mourning his dead grandmother?
Jakob Elinsky: [points to Mary's stomach] What did your mother say when you got that?
Mary D'Annunzio: Um, she said, "Where did you get the money for that?"
Jakob Elinsky: And?
Mary D'Annunzio: What did I say or did I get the money?
Jakob Elinsky: What did you say?
Mary D'Annunzio: I said, "He likes me."
Jakob Elinsky: Does he?
Mary D'Annunzio: No. Why do you care so much?
Jakob Elinsky: Just curious.
Mary D'Annunzio: So, you're not gonna change the grade?
Jakob Elinsky: No, I'm not going to change the grade.
Mary D'Annunzio: Great! You know what, this was a big waste of my time!
Jakob Elinsky: Wait!
