A portrait of a struggling writer adrift in Los Angeles, wrestling with alcoholism, casual relationships, and the tension between survival and artistic ambition.

This drama centers on Hank Chinaski, the fictional alter-ego of "Factotum" author Charles Bukowski, who wanders around Los Angeles, CA trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interest, which is writing. Along the way, he fends off the distractions offered by women, drinking and gambling.
