"Pay Per View" begins with our hero, Harold, as he pulls into a motel parking lot in the middle of the night. He's a middle aged no one in the insurance game, just left his wife of more than a decade, and he isn't sure what to do next. Through the next day and a half, we follow Harold trying on a couple of different selves for a while on his way to his new life as a single man. Harold's not quite on the train yet, but he's in the station.
