Tom Howell, an editor at a struggling publishing company, travels to New York to lead a panel discussion. There, he copes with a crazy boss, flirtatious colleagues, a corporate weasel, and a scheduling disaster, while experiencing serendipitous adventure in the Big Apple. On his trip, Tom also struggles with the themes and preoccupations of his life. These include the demands of his maddening but involving job, his determination to be a good father, and the nagging possibilities of his literary talents, which are captured in a novel he has started but nearly forsaken. As an unappreciated employee, dedicated father, and failing literati, Tom searches for meaning in his unremarkable life. Can he achieve something admirable? Or is his life merely an endless turf-war, where self-respect is always under siege? Altogether, these plot points keep Tom Howell busy as he rushes through his hilarious and poignant adventures in New York, while showing there is surprising depth in TOM'S JOB.
