Plot

In the heart of Baltimore's zany neighborhood, resides an aspiring young photographer named Pecker. By day, he serves subs at a local deli; by night, he captivates the essence of his world through his lens - a hodgepodge of eccentrics, including his unconventional family and the peculiar cityscape. His subjects range from his hardworking parents - a struggling bar owner and a bargain clothing saleswoman - to his thief best friend Matt, and his girlfriend Shelley, who spins laundry by day and dreams by night. Not to mention, his spirited younger sister Chrissy with a sweet tooth that knows no bounds, and their devout grandmother Memama, Baltimore's pit beef queen. Pecker's life takes an unexpected turn when his humble sandwich shop art show grabs the attention of Rorey Wheeler, a high-profile New York art dealer. Intrigued by Pecker's "modern pictures", she catapults him into the pretentious world of NYC artists, turning him into an overnight sensation. However, fame comes at a steep price. Back home, his candid snapshots cause a stir, leaving the residents of his beloved city feeling exposed and disgruntled, threatening to cost him more than just friendships. Now, amidst this whirlwind, Pecker must navigate the tides of fame, mend frayed bonds, and help his community see the beauty in their raw, unfiltered lives, all while reconciling with his newfound status. This is a tale of art, identity, and the fine line between admiration and exploitation.
