In the 1990s, a 19-year-old man works in an American town called Moonlight Heights as a construction worker. The man got this job as a result of his father, who is the boss on the construction site. None of the other workers know about the nepotism involved in the man’s hiring. Despite being a construction worker, the man dreams of being an actor. He takes Sunday classes, fantasizes about moving out to LA, but feels stifled by the lack of big, exciting roles he’s gotten to fill in his hometown. One day, Duncan, the man’s work partner, asks for a ride home. Although the man doesn’t normally get along with Duncan, the traffic on the way to Duncan’s place allows them to bond. The man shares his dreams of acting, and Duncan agrees that LA is a magical place. When they get to Duncan’s apartment, they watch Michael Jordan play, and the man smokes crack for the first time in his life. Not long after, the man is called by a former acting teacher who invites him to audition for a role in a play where he would be on stage for the whole piece but not have any lines. Despite his reservations, the man auditions and receives the part. He drives Duncan home that day again and tells Duncan about his good news. They smoke crack while watching Seinfeld, and the man has a momentary crisis: he sees through his whole life and realizes he’ll go nowhere. But then, he sinks into the dangerous thought that he is still young, there is still time.
