Once a happy boy, Davey turned to the darkside after his parents both were killed in a car accident, Davey then withdrew from society and developed alcoholism, emarking on a life of juvenile and adult criminal behaviour. Now in his early 30s, Davey spends the holidays drinking and causing trouble which he lands in with the cops. Before he is sentenced to ten years in prison, Whitey Duvall, a small deformed referee from Davey's former basketball team offers Davey a chance to redeem himself and the judge sentences Davey to eight days and nights of community service as a referee. Davey dosen't take to kindly to Whitey untill his trailer is burned down by a man who lost a bet to Davey. Davey is forced to live with Whitey and his diabetic, twin sister Eleanor. Davey excepts this and things go well until one morning when Whitey recalls Davey's tragic past. Davey then flies into a rage and rails at Whitey, telling him that he'll never win the All-Star-Patch banquet because no one in the town even knows he exists and storms off. He spends the rest of the day drinking and later in the night, he breaks into the mall which is closed and rails at his old friend Jennifer who is clearly not there. All of a sudden the various mall stores' logos come to life and confront Davey about his inability to grieve for his parents which they idenify as the source of his alcoholism. They open Davey's parents' Haunakka card and after reading it, Davey finally comes to terms with his loss and behaviour. In an attempt to apologize to Whitey, Davey finds him at the All-Star-Banquet where Whitey and Eleanor hope for Whitey to win a patch. Despite having been vied for the award for thirtyfive years, Whiety is once again passed over and leaves with Eleanor in disgrace. Risking arrest, Davey storms in the banquet and reminds the town's people of their selfish actions towards Whiety and Davey leads them to Whitey, who along with Eleanor has went to the mall to be alone to pray. To Whitey's shock, he is granted all 35 (one who won three) patches as Davey and Jennifer reconcile
