Synopsis:

explores the relationships of the men who operate a branch office of a messenger service in Manhattan's garment district. During one workday, the incremental progression of individual lives unfolds against a backdrop of work. At the end of the day, each man has learned more about himself; certain characters are changed irrevocably by their new insights, others only tangentially affected. Each is sustained by the shared grind of work
