In 1987, James Brennan plans to have a summer vacation in Europe after graduating with a degree in comparative literature from Oberlin College and enrolling in journalism graduate school at Columbia University after receiving his acceptance letter. A few days after his graduation, his parents advise him to seek a part-time job rather than going to Europe when they unexpectedly announce that financial problems have taken a toll on them and they would be unable to financially support him.
