It's about three men who deal, in various ways, with the losses of their jobs due to corporate downsizing. In the movie, there's a place where two of these men go every day until they can find work. It never says exactly what type of establishment it is, but it closely resembles a non-profit organization called Professionals in Transition.

I had one. You had one. But that was then, and this is now. And it seems the availability of jobs for teens in the summertime is dwindling. Now, we are all aware of the bleak unemployment numbers we see crawl across our TV screens everyday. But, maybe we always thought that couldn't possibly include the "summer job." Unfortunately, now it does and kids in their late teens are facing the same issues as too many other Americans these days--they just can't find work.
