In this re-imaging of The Odyssey, Ben Ehrenreich casts the ever-pining Penny as a modern-day Penelope, aswirl in a sea of hopeful ne'er-do-wells. While her lover Payne, much like Odysseus, gallivants around waging war and otherwise taking his time on the voyage home, the suitors fail to steal Penny's mind away from her memories. But when a mysterious man with suspicious origins arrives upon the scene, the precarious pecking order unravels in the glow of Penny's newly ignited ardor.
