The slightly ridiculous tragicomic odyssey of one Joe Perk, a young
man alone: inarticulate, simple-hearted and naive; a humble
coffee-jerk with a unique talent, as he travels from small town
Oklahoma to New York City in order to realize his dream: to become
a world champion coffee barista. Along the way he stumbles in and
out of the lives of Cliff, his cruel half-brother who delights in
stealing Joe's girls; Miguel, a farmhand with a secret bean;
Cappuccino, the lovely coffee shop owner in love and in trouble; a
crazed homeless man who drives an office chair, quotes movie
dialogue and wants to kill Joe; Lou, the diner-owner with dyslexia;
Graydon Froth, a coffee mogul with a serious inferiority complex;
Macchiato, reigning barista champ and prize chump; and Shakes, the
mysterious man who imparts to Joe a secret knowledge that will
possibly make him a star.
