You Are Here

Following a brief introduction by Roger, who explains his job as caretaker of the Langston Fashion Plaza, a dying shopping mall, Steve is dropped off by the family to join him so that they can work on their idea of a fish stick truck. Roger's hopes of reviving the shopping center to its glory days rely on the return of Mr. Javitz, the absent mall owner. Steve is hired, and gets a chance to meet a couple of the mall's last tenants before Roger notifies him that the mall is slated for demolition. 'Evil bankers' tell them that Mr. Javitz hasn't been making his payments on the mall, and they will destroy it and turn it into condos within a month. Struggling for ideas to save them all, Steve brings in the other shop owners, where they discover that Mr. Javitz has been missing for about 25 years.

Fishy Got Fingered

Meanwhile, the fish stick truck is a dud, until Klaus gives it a dirty pun of a name. Steve and the other owners decide that the mall's survival hinges on the revival of its food court, and pitch the idea of a food truck festival based on an idea from Stan. The festival is a success, despite Steve's reservations about the continued future of the mall. Roger insists that Mr. Javitz will return, and indeed he does, as an evil spirit warlock that feeds the mall on the souls of the mall's patrons, which in turn supply's him with power. Having looked into his eyes, Roger has fallen under his spell and does his bidding.

Determined to replace Roger with Steve, he sets off in pursuit of him while Steve sets a fire and the family drives their food trucks through the wall, allowing the patrons to escape. The shop owners, having tried to run bad stores in order to keep people away, have a plan to destroy the fountain with the explosives intended to demolish the mall, but become mannequins before they can implement their plan. Roger, determined to keep his position, throws Steve into the fountain, but he is saved by Mr. Javitz who puts him under his spell until Roger pushes him into the fountain instead, destroying him. However, Steve is hypnotized as one of the shop owners recounts who was ghosts and who was alive.
