Doug is an awkward Florida drug addict. Divorced and alone, he shares custody of his young daughter with his ex. Doug’s reeling from losing his job at a local strip club, where he takes care of the fish in the aquarium.

For Doug, it’s a sign from the Universe — so he brings her home, gives her shelter in his tub & begins to nurse her back to health. He even names her Destiny.
