After losing his cubicle job as a data manager in Seattle, spiritually confused Dory feels like his life is going down the drain. He plummets from white collar to brown collar when he is forced to take a job as a janitor at a product research firm. Before long, Dory forges a bond with his cast-off co-workers, people who work by night, sleep by day, and embrace their status as nocturnal nobodies. The motley crew of misfits at the janitorial company usher Dory into this strange world as he struggles to find meaning in his new life. When it appears that the janitors are being used as unwitting guinea pigs by the executives of the firm they clean, Dory and his friends discover first-hand the law of unintended consequences. Strange things begin to happen to their minds and bodies. Rather than continue his search for meaning, Dory learns that sometimes, meaning finds you.
