After losing his job as an auto mechanic, he finds solace in spending his days and nights at the Trees Lounge, a local neighborhood bar where he knows the regulars well.
Tommy's love life is also in shambles. He recently broke up with his girlfriend Theresa (played by Elizabeth Bracco) due to his excessive drinking and his inability to commit to a stable relationship. Theresa's niece, Debbie (played by Chloë Sevigny), is a seventeen-year-old who often frequents the Trees Lounge as well.
