Chris Jones, disillusioned with the American job scene, welcomes the opportunity to work for an ad agency in London. An African-American from inner-city Philadelphia, he finds it liberating to be in placid London--at first. Then troubles surface, including a difficult boss and an over-materialistic girlfriend, and, suddenly, he`s jobless again. He returns home, where he gets his old life back and, unsatisfactory though it is, finds he can cope with it better than before.
