In the morning Alex is woken up by a grandfather clock well before his normal wake up time. He is offered breakfast but then roped into performing chores before work. After work he introduces his game Demonik to Grandma Lilly. She refuses to give up the game controller, so Alex goes over to his marijuana dealer Dante's, house where he gets weed and a cable box that gets his grandma free cable television.
