That evening, Joe calls his friend Remington to vent his anger over his current economic situation. This new paper stand was only meant to be a short time solution until he got back on his feet, but not only is he now stranded without a job in the goddamn middle of nowhere, but he can’t even afford to move back into the city due to recent rent increases.

Remington has a solution: one of the families he cleans for is in dire need of a gardener. Joe isn’t thrilled. He certainly didn’t go to college to water some rich guys plants, but beggars can’t be choosers, he guesses. It’ll only be temporary, right?
