T.J. and his dad have recently suffered a tragic loss. Then one day Hesher comes into their lives. Actually, he does more than come in to their lives. He literally moves in - without asking.

Hesher is a loner with long hair, who lives in his van, listens to heavy metal, smokes cigarettes and pot, likes to set things on fire has a tattoo on his back of a hand giving the finger and one on his chest of a stick man blowing his brains out.

"Hesher is a "feel good" movie that doesn't want to be a "feel good" movie - and that's what makes it so good. It makes the drama, the pain and the laughter genuine and ergo our reactions to it all.
