In the film, Whaley plays Jim Dodge, a persuasive but irresponsible kid who lands a job as an overnight janitor at a local Target store. One evening after hours, he finds himself alone with the affluent but mistreated Josie McClellan (Connelly).

The film grossed $11 million at the box office, and received mostly mixed reviews from critics. Hughes distanced himself from the film.
