The Sad Cafe, brings to life the gritty world where cause and effect, life and death, love and hatred play out a delicate balance. A place where unrequited love is the driving force behind closing ourselves off from the world, and is the cause of unrelenting bitterness to the happiness that was taken from us, the happiness we long for. The Sad Cafe is, at its core, a love story...a romance tragic in all aspects. A testimony to the pain people endure in their pursuit for love and companionship. Jack is a gun for hire who desires more out of life. His past yields great caution to bringing others close to him. Rose works at a café run by her father. She feels left behind in the world and longs to find her one and only. Every day Jack comes into her café. Every day she has his tea waiting for him. Every day they are silent with each other until one day, thanks to Jack’s partner Steve, he decides that he can’t continue living this way. Jack surprises Rose with flowers and the romance begins, leading Jack to the decision of a lifetime. What Jack is not prepared for is the alteration of not only his life, but the life of Rose as well.
