Laid off after his factory was abruptly shuttered, and unable to find gainful employment, Jim Jansen has been forced out of his house and onto the street. With no decent career prospects in sight, he takes on odd jobs to try and scrape together enough money to get back on his feet and back to his wife and daughter. He befriends an old acquaintance from the factory, and together they manage to fashion a wretched, but livable, existence in an alley. But try as he might to get ahead, life deals him setback after setback. A series of particularly disheartening setbacks pushes him to his breaking point. His friend departs after suffering a brutal beating, leaving Jim all alone. When his wife of seventeen years delivers some especially discouraging news, Jim soon finds himself out of options. Unless... Follow Jim on his journey as he tries to find his way back.
