Synopsis:
Morris had it all. A great job, cool apartment, and an almost reasonable girl
friend. Until the day came when an online hacker stole his identity and ran his
credit into the shitter. Forced to quit his job and move in with his best bud
CJ, Morris ends up working as a janitor at a local firm. In the middle of it all
his girl friend dumps him for a Swedish dog trainer, lets just say Morris could
be in a better situation at the moment. A local television studio that produces
his television show called D'Basement is closing in a half year. His girl friend

friends don't like it.
