On a summer night in 1999, 30 year old Doug Sample has decided his experiment with life on the planet earth has, for all intents and purposes, failed. Standing in the middle of the Super Slurp Gas N' Get where he works, he knows he has achieved nothing, accomplished nothing, and currently has nothing to show for his life except wasted opportunity and his graveyard shift. Doug has made plans to kill himself with a gun and because of his flair for the dramatic, he is planning to pull the trigger in full view of the Mini-Mart’s ever present security cameras. But first he has to get through this, his last shift. Doug seems pretty sure of his path, but before the night is over, he will be visited by his past, his present, a couple of possible futures and some of the most annoying customers that have ever walked through the double doors. Speaking into the cameras, his living suicide note, Doug counts down the hours and struggles with some of life’s most challenging questions like, “Why should I go on?”, “What does it all mean?”, and perhaps most importantly, “Will I remember to change the cherry syrup in the Super Slurp Machine?” Doug wants to die, but he’s got a long way to go until 6am and a lot of mopping to do before the end.
