 A chain-smoking trouble-maker (Christopher Jaymes) enters a poetry contest at a local cafe, where he faces off against some heavy hitters including a handsome easy-going favorite (Ben Caswell). In the cafe, he makes friends with a blonde (Rachel Parker), who has relationship commitment problems and a political activist (Ben Gattas), who has another more personal secret. The film stays at the cafe and relies on its wordsmithing to keep the audience involved.
