β¦ Synopsis
Eddie Smith, a passive-aggressive career-failure moves from Orange County where he faces social oblivion and flops into Santa Monica hoping to merely postpone doom. But the fates drag him into countless sexual and vocational circumstances that are far out of his league. Though self-pitying and seemingly unwilling to change his fate, he is thrown into a head-spinning sequence of dating adventures and job opportunities which he finds himself ill-equipped to handle. Reliant on alcohol, caffeine and prescription medications, he roams from doctor to doctor seeking medical help. Having fallen out of love with his family who tires of his weakness and dependency, he comes to rely on the whims of others for almost everything. Lacking a true sense of direction, he compliantly agrees to enter virtually any situation he is told to by any friend, enemy or stranger with a forceful enough will to push him this way or that. He is confronted more than once about his character and is told he is an undeserving embarrassment. He makes little effort to change people's opinion of him, but merely sets out on any quest that strikes the fancy of those who guide him. Unable to conquer his shallow impulses, he haplessly follows beautiful women around until something happens. And way too much seems to happen. But, in spite of his fecklessness, he keeps managing to eke out some sort of existence.
