A grounded drama about identity and masculinity in crisis, following three men stripped of their corporate status as they rebuild their lives and relationships.

Bobby Walker lives the proverbial American dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and two co-workers jobless, the three men are forced to re-define their lives as men, husbands and fathers.
