Having poor success as son or student, a young guy gets evicted by his parents. He leaves Lake Michigan's shore for the west coast, finding adventure on the streets of Hollywood. Events force him to mature, evolving from a dirty, hairy primate into an upright member of civilization. Stuck on Earth shares the nostalgic journey of one person's dream and search for identity, learning that change may be the only constant. Nothing in life is guaranteed, so being stuck might be the beginning of maturing and growing beyond any static human condition.
