James finds a dusty letter under his door from an estranged friend. Emory arrives in Washington DC with the clothes on his back and a rucksack after years backpacking in Europe. He's in need of a job and a place to crash. He finds a job and meets a girl, but a co-worker has it in for him. What's more, he finds he's built a reputation for himself.
