Nothing in the Middle of Nowhere follows the seemingly empty life of a microwave manufacturing office worker who struggles to assert his own purpose in life. While Clement Supple certainly has desires and passions, his lack of charisma and self-esteem make them difficult to achieve and recognize. After a string of horrible events leaves him at his lowest point imaginable, a bullet shatters both his perspective and his microwave–forcing him into the middle of two bickering criminals and their coincidental need for a dead man.
