Plot Eccentric Jeffrey Mannus is a 29-year-old book store clerk who still lives with his mother Jan. His father died when he was young, so he has clung to her tightly.

While at a coffee shop, Jeffrey finds a friend in one of the workers, aspiring singer-songwriter Nora Flannagan. They share a cynical, negative perception of the world. Jeffrey approaches a man working in a computer shop to dig up dirt on Mert. He pays him half the price he asked to do it so, when Mert comes into the shop to buy bribes to win Jeffrey over, the guy spills the beans. Mert changes his tactics, declaring a kind of war against Jeffrey.
