When a man reluctantly visits a psychiatrist for the first time, he is subjected to a bizarre and aggressive new talk therapy technique. Is his doctor helping him to face his real issues? Or merely pushing him past the brink of sanity? The human psyche, the collective unconscious, and funny-tasting kool-aid combine in this outlandish and hilarious existentialist comedy.

Margie isn’t good at being a person. Perhaps she’d like to be a lion. Margie journeys to Bali, Italy and India to find herself, but she’s not in any of those places. A comedy that travels across two decades, three continents and several dimensions, providing the answer to an unspoken question: LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR.
