A quest to save Paradise one tile at a time. 

East Cleveland, 1976. Jay is a charismatic slacker living above Paradise, the restaurant his father left him.
But Jay has accumulated a trail of debt which includes Earlene Floyd, a local parking lot mogul, who wants to bulldoze Paradise and put up a parking lot. Jay enlists his old school gang of misfits with plans to raise cash by hustling across America - one game of Scrabble at a time. But old factions and Earlene’s offensive to crush them threaten Paradise forever. Who will have the last word?
