Will longs to be the man Rebecca will take notice of. He wants to finally start his own freelance business and quit his awful job. He wants to rid his life of the emotional residue from his dysfunctional upbringing. He wants to stop having to deal with the frustrating people in his life. Michael his boss is unbearable. Hunter his sometimes friend is disloyal. And his co-workers' incompetence adds to his anxiety.
His only reprieve seems to be Louis and Mary. Louis, a retiree and deli counter worker, tries to be a compass for Will.
