Wendy Watson is a 22-year-old art school graduate struggling to stay afloat in a series of dead-end temp jobs. Living with her best friend, Lacey, in an illegal sublet, she bounces from one temp job to another while putting off her mother's daily inquiries about what she is going to do with her life.

Wendy's situation takes a drastic turn during a routine temp assignment at a local laboratory, when she is thrown into the middle of a science experiment gone very wrong. If that weren't bizarre enough, who should show up to save the day but a mysterious, handsome, gun-wielding stranger who introduces himself only as... The Middleman.
