Eleven college students rent an RV to take Darius Weems, 15, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, on a cross-country road trip. Their goal is to convince the makers of MTV's popular show “Pimp My Ride” to customize Darius's wheelchair. Along the way, they find joy, brotherhood and the knowledge that life, even when imperfect, is always worth the ride.
