The Missing Girl

Mort lives a lonely and disillusioned life. In debt, single and unable to make ends meet, he relies on his family for loans, still drives his dad's old car and spends most evenings listening to self-affirmation tapes that he personally recorded. However, there's one ray of hope within his life: the new employee he's hired for his comic book shop. Ellen is everything Mort is not, a smart, aspiring graphic novelist with an acerbic wit. However, Ellen also has her own share of secrets, and the return of Mort's bullying high school friend will be the catalyst for events that will change everyone's lives forever.
