Vi Lius life is a mess. Having dropped out of college, shes stuck in a job she hates at a local hotel. Her ex-boyfriend has blocked her and shes lashing out at her family and co-workers. One night, drunk outside a drag club, she stumbles across a mysterious sentient blob. She takes it home, where she feeds it a diet of sugary cereal and reality TV. Slowly, she realises that she can shape the blob into her perfect man: someone attentive, outgoing and with more than a passing resemblance to Ryan Gosling. But is Bob the blob really the answer to all her problems or a catalyst for further disaster?.
