Rick is the sort of guy you probably once really liked: a devoted husband and a loving father, he lives in a lavish Park Avenue apartment paid for by a high powered corporate job. He has a sharp sense of humor and enjoys a cold, well-prepared martini but the world's gone wrong for Rick. His wife is dead. His teenage daughter Eve is distant as she approaches womanhood. His job gets more and more degrading with each passing day. His young boss Duke is an aggressive punk who forces Rick literally to his knees and spends his time talking dirty in Internet chat rooms, while Rick has to do the dirty work. And it seems you can't even have a martini in this town without getting a curse from an enemy or sinister proposal from an old friend. No wonder his sense of humor is getting a little nasty.

Le sujet aurait suffi pour un épisode de la série "Alfred Hitchcock présente". Le concept original de la réalité du réalisateur Curtis Clayton, dans laquelle les héros évoluent, est également antipathique et difficilement digeste. Dans la deuxième moitié, cette distorsion se retire en arrière-plan, nous avons quelque chose à saisir et nous en profiterons dans la tension jusqu'à la finale dépressive, mais l'impression générale douce-amère du film ne disparaît pas.
