What is the main conflict in Ladies and Gentlemen by Adam Ross?

David Applelow is a man in his early forties who has spent most of his adult life moving from one job to another, each different from the one before. Applelow never finished college, never attempted to become a professional at a specific career. Instead, Applelow has allowed his life to float along on a current only he can sense. This unanchored life continues even now as Applelow fights to find a job after the theater group for which he worked as manager closed as the recession began to impact the group's founder.
