Laurie works in a small store in Calgary shopping centre, but to get there, he has to rely on his sister Michelle, because he's afraid to cross the street. But that's not all: he's also afraid of elevators, escalators, open spaces and especially, intimacy. Actually, his girlfriend considers that his worst fear. When Michelle's company invents a bracelet that contains a warning system alerting the wearer to danger before it happens, Laurie agrees to test the prototype.
