Plot summary
Keith is a chain-smoker in his late twenties who calls himself a troll. He lives in a two-room apartment in New York, where he beds down in the kitchen, and he makes his living going door to door selling coupon booklets meant to help people affected by multiple sclerosis. His flatmate Charles agrees to cover the electric bill and then does not, and yells at him. His friend Sandy would rather Keith stayed away, and has already found a way to send him off. His girlfriend Laura turns up crying. Keith is socially challenged but self-aware, and the people around him carry neuroses of their own.
