Three years out of high school in the fictional town of Burnfield (filmed mainly in Austin, Texas), four friends are in the daily habit of hanging out drinking by the garbage dumpster of a corner convenience store, occasionally taunting the Pakistan-born owners and operators, married couple Nazeer and Pakeesa. Jeff is an aimless soul unsure of his future since dropping out of college. He is dating Sooze, a student at the local community college who plans to leave Burnfield and study visual arts in New York City. Jeff's best friends are Buff and Tim. Tim, recently honorably discharged from the Air Force, is a troubled heavy drinker with a knack for shooting off his mouth. Sooze's friend Bee-Bee hangs out with the group this evening.
