As Sydney grapples with her writer's block, her father Max is dealing with his own issues at work. He's been struggling to relate to his younger coworkers and feeling out of touch with the modern world. However, when Sydney asks for his input on her essay, Max is inspired to share some of his own experiences from the 90s and suggests that Sydney interview one of his former colleagues.

Through Max's guidance and her own research, Sydney begins to understand more about the history of social justice movements and how they have evolved over time. She also becomes passionate about making a meaningful contribution to the cause and decides to organize a fundraiser for a local charity.
