After hitting emotional and financial rock bottom, best friends Ben and Jordan come up with a scheme to spend an entire year living “rent free” with the help of friends, family and strangers alike in a rapidly changing Austin. Part social experiment, part buddy comedy, their quixotic plan all too soon reveals itself to be a bit untenable.
