Plot summary
Scotty, a paraplegic from birth, lives with his mother, Liz. Matt, who is Asian-American and once competed as an athlete, has lately started using a wheelchair and still shares a house with his parents and his sister. Mo is a blind South Asian man in his thirties. The three become friends at a physical therapy center, where each of them is a lifelong virgin. When Scotty hears of a Montreal brothel that welcomes clients with disabilities, he talks Matt and Mo into going. They slip away from home, hire a van and a driver, Sam, and head north, meeting prejudice over their disabilities and their ethnicities along the way, while their parents try to track them down.

- Critics said that casting able-bodied actors as disabled characters was a missed opportunity for the film, and in August 2021 the British screenwriter and disability campaigner Jack Thorne cited it during the Edinburgh TV Festival's MacTaggart Lecture as an example of ableism in film and television, highlighting the lack of disabled actors in the cast.
