Rick Thompson is the product of a beat down generation, a generation plagued by mental illness and neurosis, a generation tired of living by their twenties. Irreverent, philosophical, and filled with dark wit, this analysis of the psychological games we play to give meaning to the meaninglessness of this world, follows Rick as he tries to find his way though various struggles in life, love, sex, drugs, nihilism, and depression, fueled by a conspiracy beyond his comprehension, and chased by the specters of his past.
