In this coming of age story of a man who never really comes of age, musician Sam Greene loses his best friend and mentor, Jazz great, Ben Webster (the piano player, not the saxophonist) and his life spins out of control. He gets himself into a love triangle (which is mainly in his head,) develops a boil on his backside, and gets stalked by Jerry Springer to play his 1999 Y2K, New Years Eve party.
