Storyline
Out of work, Eric has fallen into a deep slump when his old classmate Matt reaches out. Eric finds Matt unexpectedly changed from the insecure bully he used to know–with a good job, and aspirations to reform himself. But overcome with jealousy, this apparent turn for the good only makes the failed writer more mistrustful of his former tormentor.

Description Eric is a wannabe writer with a depressive streak. Running out of money, he can find the strength to do little more than lie on his couch. When Matt reaches out, Eric chooses at first to ignore him. But lonely, and losing his sense of self, he begins to wonder if he can really afford to push yet another person away, even if that person is Matt. | ||
