Мир — его враг, анархия — его религия. Вы отправляетесь в захватывающее путешествие по его жизни, и по дороге вы встречаете панков, позеров, модов, фриков, наркоманов и других личностей. Отец Стиво, бывший хиппи, считает, что его жизнь проходит впустую и убеждает сына поступить в Юридическую школу Гарварда, которую он сам окончил. Но у Стиво, под, казалось бы, непробиваемой броней из ирокеза, сережек и кожи, скрывается много мыслей. Встает вопрос: как сохранить свою индивидуальность и жить в обществе?
