One of the world's biggest losers...

Our hero's name is Steve Reeves.

He's similar -- in name only -- to the actor who used to play Hercules. He's the son of a postman who's been losing it for decades. He's got a girlfriend he's not so sure about, a demeaning job at BagelWorks, and a crappy car.

Things are not going well for Steve.

He just went home for his sister's wedding (to another postman) and hates his family more than ever. His Dad just gave him a gun, and he doesn't know who to shoot first. His girlfriend just dumped him (now he's sure), he just lost his demeaning job, and his car still stinks.

What's a jobless, dreamless, girl-less twentynothing to do?

Scam money off his deaf grandmother. Drink before noon with his equally pathetic friends. Keep the gun.

And try to keep from GOING POSTAL.
