Noc is once again facing the possibility of his real, legal name, Pinocchio Geppetto, being revealed. It's embarrassing and has put him in the firing range of bullies from grade school to coworkers in the past. When his encounter with the HR officer, Gina, takes a turn for the naughty, things blow up in unexpected ways. The alluring blue fairy tattoo and loads of Pinocchio-themed memorabilia make it clear Gina is really into having this private discussion without her shirt on.

A modern version of Pinocchio, marine Levi Woodyer - known as "Woody" to his special ops team - is on a medical discharge, a man with a haunted past, a painful present and an uncertain future. His father watches, powerless to help his son, as Levi slips further between the cracks, and troubled Levi doesn't seem to be too interested in helping himself. But when his father's simple bribe finally gets Levi out of the house to a physical therapy appointment, his encounter with former high school sweetheart, Linnea Fey, just might put him on the path to wholeness again.
