Job's Year concentrates on a man who reaches a point in his life where he no longer accepts self-delusion or flattery. It is his time of truth, the time to reflect on his life disappointments with clear-eyed irony and scaled-down dreams. Moving from past to present, memories and dreams flood his mind as Oliver Jewett comes face-to-face with the inadequacies of his life and the pressing problems of the present. He returns to his family home to support his elder sister, a celebrated artist, who is dying. In this small California town in the Sierra Madres foothills, he encounters ghosts of his youth, both places and people. Desperate to be an actor from his teens, he's eked out a modest but now failing career as he struggles to keep his closest relationships. Fellow actors, agents, lovers and their families pepper his world with challenges, annoyances and little satisfaction. When he finally accepts that his younger lover of ten years is in love with Jewett's modest celebrity but cares little for the man he is, he's ready for a new road. As the year progresses, more doors close, but new opportunities to make sane decisions baffle and block him. Jewett perseveres, accepts defeat where necessary, and battles these ghosts as he seeks a safe place to become the man he's always dreamt he could be.
