A documentary about a group of parking lot attendants in Charlottesville, Virginia, explores their unique brotherhood and rituals. The attendants, a mix of grad students, philosophers, artists, and more, prefer alternative transportation and have a sarcastic view of their customers. Despite their tolerance, they've developed a private "war" against elitist and rude customers. As they navigate their jobs, they find ways to cope with resentment, including creative expression and humor. Interviews with former attendants reveal that their time at the lot provided valuable life lessons and a sense of perspective. The film raises questions about the intersection of the status quo and the pursuit of freedom, and whether a parking lot can serve as a symbol of the American Dream.
