“Stevie” is the heart-warming story of a 22-year-old young man with Down syndrome trying to make it in the work-a-day world. It opens with him having just graduated from the Curative Workshop as a Busboy, and his mother is taking him around to restaurants to try and get him a job. Everyone is turning him down because they are afraid that his appearance will “turn off” their customers. Even his bus driver is snappish with Stevie as he takes him to work.

Finally, a gruff-on-the-exterior, but soft-hearted Truck Stop Diner Owner hires him. Things go badly from the start. Stevie is too anxious to please, and puts a customer off by removing his plate too early and causing the Trucker to spill coffee in his lap. Other customers are mean to Stevie, or play practical jokes on him, or insult him. But, Stevie, in his innocence smiles through it all, eventually winning the hearts of the hardened Truckers.

As others are mean to Stevie, the Truckers come to his defense. Stevie is in and out of hot water with his boss, the Diner Owner, but the waitresses come to his defense. Stevie eventually meets a 18-year-old young lady with Down syndrome to whom he takes an immediate liking, and they establish a friendship. Their families make friends and “Rosy’s” parents take him on a picnic and to church.

In one escapade, Stevie must work late one night, and gets lost heading for his regular bus stop. He runs into the 34th Street gang, who beat him up for his bus fare. Now, lost and wandering the darkened streets calling out for his “Momma”, he is accosted by a wino, who steals his shoes. He spends the night sleeping in the park, but all ends well the next morning as he finds his way back to the Diner. The Cops are called, but are of no help.

He begs the Owner and his mother to work again that night because, he pleads, he has something he HAS to do, but they turn him down. Unthwarted, he sneaks out of his parents’ apartment, and returns to the scene of the previous night’s crime. He runs into the same gang….

Meanwhile the bus driver has warmed up to Stevie and befriended him, giving him an “official” bus driver’s ball-cap as a gift.

Next, Stevie proposes to Rosy, but the fathers are dead-set against the union. So, Stevie and Rosy plot to run away together. The next day, Stevie doesn’t show up for work, and everybody is worried sick. Several days go by with no response from Stevie’s family….

The parents are dead set against the marriage, as is the Marriage License Bureau, Social Services, and even their church. Follow the action as Stevie and Rosy struggle against all odds to get married.

“Stevie” is a heart-warming, family-friendly, spiritually-uplifting feature movie filled with pathos, humor, adventure, romance, and a heart-rending, heart-warming storyline. The movie introduces the world of Down syndrome to an otherwise unaware audience, and demonstrates that they are as human as anyone “normal”, with the same passions, desires, aspirations, and feelings, and have something to contribute to society, too.

"Families that have individuals born with Down syndrome report that "Stevie's" experiences in the movie are true-to-life such as Individuals with Down syndrome getting married, people with Down syndrome are more susceptible to having Heart issues, individuals with Down syndrome are not always looked upon as contributing members of Society and therefore, not always treated fairly and sometimes even treated meanly and disrespectfully."
