Set in the baking hot New York summer of 1994, The Wackness charts the coming of age of hip-hop loving drug dealer Luke Shapiro as he befriends eccentric shrink Dr. Squires (Sir Ben Kingsley) and falls in love with the free-spirited Stephanie (Olivia Thirlby). Over the course of the film, Luke learns a few valuable life lessons from Squires and discovers that teenage romance isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
