A Glass Half-Empty

Matt is an unemployed loner with an alcohol problem. He spends his days and nights frequenting the same local bar near his apartment in search of his next drink. All is business as usual, until one fateful day when he is forced to come face to face with his own demons, love, lust, and a jukebox.



The bar is a playground for the local patrons, each wondering how they got there and if they'll ever leave. Along Matt's journey, his fellow bar mates-as well as a burgeoning love interest-guide Matt through a hectic day in his neighborhood pub that changes everything.



A Glass Half-Empty rings with as much brutal truth as an alcoholic's recovery memoir. Matt's attachment to alcohol isn't just a substance dependency but a way of life, involving emotional connections to a community, even if that community is self-destructive. Now, Matt must navigate his life and control his addiction all while clinging to the company of friends.
