Who is John Blitt? There are currently over 362,000 unemployed people in the City of New York. This is the story of one man. A man whose entire world changes overnight and he suddenly finds himself invisible. In this new world, where there are approximately four people to every one job, and as his search leads to nowhere, John Blitt eventually designs other ways to occupy his time. His attention becomes entirely focused on charting the comings and goings of the occupants in his apartment building. Like a work schedule, he plans “accidental” run-ins with his neighbors and slowly develops relationships with the people around him. But will it work? Will John Blitt ever feel important again?
