A guy (or gal, but I'll stick with guy right now) graduates from college with less-than-stellar grades. After running down his few savings in an ever-more-frantic job search, he has to take a job. The best he can find is working as a janitor for the college he graduated from, brought about indirectly by a former classmate.
As the New Guy, he gets the shittiest shift - come in for the 4-til-midnight shift, scrubbing the worst of the day's mess up and closing things down for the overnight. He starts out with hope - he can still try to work the job search during the days! - but fatigue and lack of success sours that hope.
He's in a dead-end job. He has no spending money - the little he makes goes to his college loans, food, rent, and his beat up fifth-hand car that's barely running. He has few if any social contacts, can't afford to go out and most of his classmates moved to find better jobs elsewhere.
What happens?
Does he catch the prof and the coed?
The secretary and the dean?
Does he get called onto the carpet by the bursar and his/her significant other?
Does he get janitor-napped by a sorority?
Does he dream of these things, only to have to return to reality each shift - Walter Mitty with blue balls?
Does his car finally die the final death, forcing him to start taking public transport, if it's even available?
