An adaptation of Dan Fante’s cult US novel of the same name, ‘Mooch’, tells the story of Bruno Dante who is attending AA when he goes back on the mooch, selling computer-printer supplies for a telemarketing company staffed by a motley crew of ex-addicts.
There, he meets former gang-banger, lap-dancer and crack-head, Jimmi Valiente, a beautiful new employee. Bruno puts his job and sobriety on the line as he tries to get Jimmi to fall in love with him, even as she begins doing drugs again.
