How To Make It In America

When his skateboard-deck business venture hits the wall, twentysomething graphic designer Ben agrees to fund a "sure thing" leather-jacket hustle proposed by good-times best friend Cam.

Using $3G they got via yet another high-interest loan from Rene, Ben and Cam buy up a roll of hot premium-denim material, then hit a series of dead ends in their search to find a manufacturer to make samples of their Crisp brand of retro 70s jeans.

While Ben and Cam track down a tailor to re-imagine some 70s-era jeans, Rachel, who works at an interior-design boutique for her eccentric boss Edie, rethinks her future after reconnecting with a friend in the Peace Corps.

It's Rachel's birthday and both Darren and Ben are invited to the party.

Ben finally receives the prototype of his jeans design, but feels a failure because it looks slightly sissy.
