Leisure.
The true goal in Life?
Yes, according to Jake’s buddy Pete, who argues that
our forefathers fought for this lifestyle that we now have.
Jake values time spent with friends but questions his lack
of direction. He yearns for excitement, romanticizing previous
generations with a mission.
Between playing games of liar’s dice and Ms. Pac Man
at the pub, sabotaging a corporate cafe moving into the neighborhood
and agonizing over a job offer, Jake struggles with his need
to discover his passion and place in a world in which he feels
undefined.
Jake falls for a beautiful girl he sees once and awaits her
return surrounded by Pete, the skateboarding antagonist; Barney,
the pot dealing, ladies man; Hank with his drunken toasts
to dreams lost; Lars, the avenue punk fighting for a cause;
Franklin, the computer hacker; and Lance, proud heir to the
pub, who begrudgingly supplies free beer to his ‘loser’
friends.
Steve, the entrepreneur of the group offers Jake a position
at his advertising firm giving him 12 hours to accept.
