Whatever Works explores the relationship between a crotchety misanthrope, Boris and a naïve, impressionable young runaway from the south, Melody. When Melody's uptight parents arrive in New York to rescue her, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements. Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works."
Can a grumpy, isolated New Yorker find any semblance of connection before a runaway girl's arrival upends his lonely routine? This sharp comedy thrives on the awkward friction between cynical solitude and the messy, unpredictable nature of human intimacy.
