With a story that many could readily understand, this film is about a divorced policeman whose salary does not expand far enough to support his ex-wife, to handle his bills at the local bar, and to manage all the hand-outs his semi-delinquent daughter demands of him. The man is close to bottoming out, as few respect him for his low-paying job -- not because of what he does but because of his pay scale. He buys a computer to fill the hours when he is alone, which gets him into more debt that he hopes to eliminate by gambling. That leads to a vicious circle, hard to break unless someone can come and help him out of this quagmire. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
