Synopsis: It’s 1986 and Noor is a customer service representative at Jockey’s Frozen Dinners and Jockstraps— where the “Manliest Men Come First”. When she is not dealing with eccentric food and/or jockstrap related calls, she’s having awkward encounters with her cubicle neighbor Andy... Encounters that lead her to use many, many stress balls.
Her home life is never quite as eventful. She spends most nights alone with a frozen dinner and her two best friends, Harold and Dr. Happi. Except, Harold is a cat and Dr. Happi is the host of My Desires With Dr. Happi, a late night tv show where people express their strangest desires. These desires include, for example, sexual fascinations about Jesus...but who doesn’t desire that?
This is Noor’s happy place, until she sees an ad for 1-800-GET-SEXY, a phone sex operation company. Though at first she quickly changes the channel, things get weird when Dr. Happi himself starts to persuade her to become a phone sex operator through her own television set.
Noor must decide what she truly desires, even if it goes against everything she’s ever known.
