Girlfriend's Day

Everything that can go wrong for Ray Wentworth (Bob Odenkirk) already has in GIRLFRIEND'S DAY. His wife has left him, leading him to a terrible case of Writer's Block -- which, as the "Bill Shakespeare" of the greeting card industry, has proven to be disastrous. Now as a direct result of the Writer's Block, he's been fired and can't pay his rent. And making everything completely hopeless is the fact that he's depressed, and becoming dependent on alcohol. Having fun yet? No worries, things are about to get worse. California's governor has issued a proclamation declaring an annual "Girlfriend's Day," and offering a large cash prize for the best original FIRST greeting card for the occasion. So, when Ray's old boss offers him a secret deal to write that first card, and when he meets Jill (Amber Tamblyn) an attractive greeting card "groupie," in a local book store, Ray thinks things are at last looking up. That is, until he finds a competitor writhing on the floor of his office building -- stabbed, bloody, and dying. From there Ray is caught in a tangled web of lies, threats, encounters with a crooked cop, and self-hatred that doesn't let up. It's only a matter of time before Ray will either have to shake loose from the mess that his life has become or succumb to the forces of evil that surround him.
