Kevin Quinn is suffering a midlife crisis. Unhappy
with his job, his girlfriend and his life in general, he has decided to
interview for a new job. Telling no one of his plans, he takes a one day trip,
leaving Ann Arbor, Michigan, early in the morning for an afternoon job
interview in Austin, Texas. During this long day, Kevin has basically three
things on his mind—the many possibilities of a terrorist attack, pursuing any
beautiful woman who crosses his path, and the random events of his life that
led him to take this chance at radical change. Once in Austin, Kevin has many
hours to wait until his afternoon interview. He wiles away the time by stalking
(rather innocently) several women who attract his attention, eventually meeting
one, a doctor, who generously helps him when he trips and falls while pursuing
her. Despite his shallow and self-absorbed pre-occupation with his own wants
and needs, Kevin is a likeable guy. The examination of his life is filled with
honest criticism as well as funny and to-the-point observations about American
culture. Despite his somewhat risky behavior during his day in Austin, Kevin
manages to arrive for his appointment clean, composed and on time. But he is
not prepared for what happens while he waits for his interview. Events take an
unexpected turn and the NEXT part of his life does not turn out as
expected.
