synopsis...
(Drama, Comedy)
A painfully average young man, Jimmy, struggles to deal with the maturity and settling down of life.
Jimmy, 29, is a cubicle rat at Micro Precision, an accounting firm that nobody has ever heard of. He is forced by an office policy to take counselor meetings. He thrives towards them, hoping they will act as a refuge for his depression.
His brother Frank, who he financially supports, is a scam artist. His chronically ill mother, Stacy, disowns him and Danielle, his best friend, is just as confused as everyone else.
"Falling on Sleep" is a story about the problems that a man goes through in the helpless search of self actualization. Which leaves the question... Are some of us born to fail?
