Dante Hicks is a clerk at a New Jersey convenience store. One particular Saturday morning, he gets called in on his day off. Once there, he deals with multiple problems: the shutters won't open; his ex-girlfriend, with whom he's still in love, is getting married; his current girlfriend, who bugs him about continuing his education, reveals startling details about her past; his boss hasn't come in to take his place; he's supposed to play in a hockey game at 2PM; a friend has died and her wake is that day; he must deal with less-than-intelligent customers; his friend Randal, who clerks at the video store next door, is even less dedicated to his job than Dante is to his and is always bothering Dante's customers; and, worst of all,HE'S NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TODAY!. Can Dante manage it all?
