Average of 1 person every 17.2 minutes commits suicide..BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S:

On the edge of the edge, lonely Jimmy Getal has the weight of the world on his shoulders. After a failed suicide and at the end of his rope Jimmy, a superintendent at one of old Hollywood's "has been" and "never were" apartment complexes forces himself to go to work one more day. However, today will include a life or death ultimatum to test his own fate. If at the end of the day he has more negative experiences than positive ones, Jimmy will jump off the rooftop to his death. The "Ravenswood" apartment complex is home to Hollywood's most eccentric dreamers, which include agents, actors and musicians who are living on the shadow side of fame. Alice Slip, the buildings neurotic manager and want-to-be actress enslaves Jimmy to fix what's broken, evict the tenants who can't pay the rent and remove the homeless that make the Ravenswood alleyways their home. Torn between his call of duty and his compassion for the tenants in need, Jimmy runs from floor to floor and stumbles from door to door. Small islands of warm welcome and happiness balance out the stressed out lodgers on this holiday season afternoon. Jimmy negotiates the nearly impossible task of trying to please everyone he meets and attempts to give sympathetic ear to all that expect and rely on it. Only when he is pushed to evict a old and lonely fallen cowboy star, Howard Cohen, and run homeless Pauli from the alley, does Jimmy reach his wit's end. As the thoughts of confusion, depression and loneliness swirl in his mind he decides that he's had enough and makes his way to the rooftop. Before making the jump a new tenant, Richard "The Brit" helps Jimmy to re-evaluate his list, adopting a novel outlook on his encounters and accomplishments on this day.
