Spokane, Washington, is nearly perfect for the general public, but Jack Fitzpatrick isn’t one of them. Hours after graduation and armed with his final paycheck from his nemesis, Mrs, Pohlkiss, Jack heads for Southern California decided to prove that money does buy happiness. Thanks to a lucky run-in with a talent agent a couple of weeks earlier, Jack has loftier (and more lucrative) dreams than minimum wage in the basement of Nordstrom’s. But once there, he learns that lofty dreams are a dime a dozen in the City of Angels. Broke, barely scraping by, and hating his life as a temp, L.A. is definitely not what Jack expected. But that does not mean he’s going to lay down and surrender–not yet. After reading “Best Paying Jobs of 1987” in Newsweek magazine, he makes a decision to go after the only one he thinks he has a shot at: institutional bond broker. Once frustrated that his dazzling lack of experience keeps getting in the way, Jack is ecstatic to land a job at Freedom Capital, a no-name firm with a hire anybody mentality. Pumped to be on his way to his first few million, Jack eagerly engages in the challenged ethics of his new employer. When a series of innocent events lands him in prison, he’s sure things can’t get any worse. He would be mistaken. Funny, scathing and over-the-top, “Freaks I’ve Met” is an adventure so unlike any other, it should be totally true.
