SYNOPSIS

Meet Jeff. He's a beer-drinking, porno-consuming, wrestling fanatic with Down's Syndrome. He lies, he cheats, he steals, he fondles women. In short, he a lot more like the rest of us than we care to admit.

Jeff's days are divided between his filthy home, that he shares with his 98 year old, wheel-chair bound, foster mother (who pins their financial future on the certainty that they'll win the Publisher's Clearance House Sweepstakes) and a mall movie theater where the employees alternately mock and care for him. They become a bizarre surrogate family for Jeff, providing him all the vices that his mother so desperately ignores - to her, Jeff is a good Christian boy with a heart of Gold.

As this shocking and hilarious documentary shows, Jeff frequents strip joints, bum-rushes celebrities, cares for his horrifyingly diseased foot and gets his few remaining teeth extracted.

One thing's for sure: you've never seen anything like "Jefftowne". And you've never met anyone like Jeff.
