When Tracy and his wife Alicia attend a parent-teacher conference, they find that while their 13 year-old son Derrick receives high marks in his studies, he is lacking in social skills. To improve the situation, Tracy makes it his mission to help Derrick woo his dream girl Simone until he and his 7-year-old son Jimmy see her in the flesh and determine that she is out of Derrick's league. Meanwhile, Tracy is frustrated by the mechanics at his shop when they do work for a customer who prefers barter to cash payment.
