Imran Butt is a young Pakistani office worker caught in a soul crushing, dead end job at an international service center in Lahore. Having reached the end of his rope, Imran makes the drastic but seemingly logical decision to take control of his life once and for all—by ending it. Unfortunately for Imran, he discovers that he is no more equipped at ending his life than he is at living it. Employing both slapstick humor and sly political commentary, The Goodbye Man is an offbeat rebel's song of loneliness and alienation.
