When life gets hard, rise to the occasion. Toys and confessional poetry collide in this sexy comedy about an aspiring writer and adult store clerk and her crusty literary idol.
Amy is a naïve, awkward aspiring poet in a post-grad existence that is going nowhere. Living with her parents in a bland upstate New York town, certain of her yet-to-be-acknowledged literary greatness and desperate for income, she begrudgingly accepts a job at Adult World, a local business owned by a frisky elderly couple and staffed by diva transvestite Rubio and adorable local boy Alex. Amy balances her work amongst the adult paraphernalia by fiercely pursuing a surefire kick-start for her success: a mentorship with reclusive, crusty and alcoholic writer Rat Billings.
