- College student Sam Campbell faces an ultimatum and must complete an over-due paper on Thoreau's Walden in one day, or else fail his English class. He manages to pull an all-nighter to finish the paper, but faces a stressful journey on his way to turn in his assignment. Already beaten down by having lost a job, running low on funds, and losing a girlfriend, Sam faces more distress when he discovers that his printer is broken. Hoping to pass his class still, he saves his paper onto a CD and plans to drive to school to print his paper-- only his car won't start. Sam turns to many people in his quest to get to school and meet with his professor, all of whom bring less-than-desirable results. His pothead friend, Jeff, leaves him behind at a park, his old classmate has turned into an obsessed soothsayer, his parents won't pick up the phone, and his old girlfriend almost runs him over. Sam also encounters some odd strangers along the way, including the intriguing and artistic Mary, the frighteningly passive-aggressive old man, Dante, the oddly insane Kaylei, a struggling magician named Pip, the police, a homeless man, do-gooders, brute drug-dealers, and even an evil dog. Through all the events of his single worst day ever, Sam comes to terms with who he is, who the people are around him, and just what his lot in life may be.
