A pompous, aging alcoholic and a tourettes-inflicted ten-year-old boy are forced to spend a week together at a high-end hotel. The only thing these two have in common is that they are both difficult to like. The hotel serves as their shared escape from the outside world and the problems it presents. While Axel wants to write his last and best book before he dies, Noah plays hooky from school to forget that he is the world's least popular 10 year old. At the reception at the Grand Hotel there's a problem: Noah should not be in the hotel and Axel's credit card has bounced.
Vain and snobbish writer Axel and 10-year-old Noah meet at the Grand Hotel - one has a drinking problem, the other has Tourette's syndrome.
