With the help of his tricked-out streetwise snail crew, this ultimate underdog puts his heart and shell on the line to prove that no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small.

The "Give Dad Your Best" Father's Day contest will be promoted via VIZIO and Best Buy social channels. Submitters are encouraged to share on their own social networks using the hash tag #GiveDadYourBest to promote their unique story.
