Bruno Dante - aspirant playwright, part-time depressive and long-time drunk - has hitchhiked cross country. Escaping the sunshine, have-a-nice-day culture of L.A. for the more cynical climate of New York.
He should fit right in. But if there's money for beer he's sure to mess things up.
A rut of deadbeat temping jobs follow. But Dante won't play office politics or kiss ass, so they don't last. Longer stints as the night manager of a run-down hotel, a window cleaner and, finally, a cabbie, are punctuated by whacked-out affairs, drinking binges and bouts of depression.
