Two weeks after his wife left, Roy—utterly bewildered by household chores and an empty fridge—runs into his attractive neighbor in the park.

While he’s trying to keep up appearances, little Juanita frankly tells the stranger that Dad’s “dinner” is simply inedible.

Roy Salis is a 23-year-old disillusioned rebel stuck in a "hole" — a small American town where everyone knows your business. Once a promising talent, he dreamed of tours and hordes of fans with his band, but the harsh reality of 2020, his girlfriend Becky's early pregnancy, and a soul-crushing routine shattered those dreams to pieces. Now his days are an endless "Groundhog Day," steeped in the smell of cheap beer, sweat, and Marlboro cigarettes.

Despite his outwardly attractive appearance — dark complexion, piercings, and unruly hair falling into his eyes — Roy repels people with his rudeness and narcissism. He despises dreamers, considering them naive idiots, and hates his life, which consists only of a hysterical wife, a crying daughter Juanita (whom he loves with a strange, painful love), and perpetual debt. He is hot-tempered, jealous, and dangerous, but beneath the thick layer of ice and aggression hides a man terrified of being trapped in this backwater forever.
