But his new desire to leave his suburban hometown makes him get a job at Northwood Pizza, which is old and in bad shape. There, he meets a group of workers who are just as dedicated to their jobs as Crispin's friends are to their city. Sierra, a girl whose thoughts are more profound than most, is one of them. Crispin learns to embrace his bigger goals through his interactions with his friends, coworkers, and a new relationship.
