take it to a tire shop and tell them you need a plug. they'll tell you if they think it will work or not.

Usually once it gets close to or on the sidewall, you can't plug it. +1 on taking it to a shop and seeing what they say.

It might be the camera angle but that tire looks shot anyway.

I say plug it at home and get a new set on the way.
