Plagued by old men with little dogs, mysterious fuzzy slippers, arrogant video store clerks, and angry Asian actor, Eric hasn't been right since he traded insults with Karen in the men's room of that club in Koreatown.  How is this generAsian 1.5'er going to get out of his tired broke ass funk?  Euijoon Kim, of the David Henry Hwang Writers Institute, shoots from the hip - confounding the genre and defying expectations in this scathing and scabrously funny anti-romantic comedy.
