Tale of life, love and the pursuit of happiness... in Cleveland. Nine vignettes about love: an old war hero defends the honor and memory of a long-lost love; a man's past comes to light in the midst of a perfect date; a recently separated paramedic gets more than he bargains for when he is thrust in the middle of a domestic dispute; a desperate man employs his friends in an elaborate scheme to meet the girl of his dreams, a recovering sex addict returns home to start a new life. There are thousands of stories of love, lust, loss and despair all over Cleveland-these are just a few of them.

A reclusive inventor must protect the young son of the lord of Praxton from assassins who seek to overthrow the government and propel the planet into a maelstrom of chaos and civil war.

An original mix of fiction and reality illuminates the life of comic book hero everyman Harvey Pekar.
