A dazzling, self-lacerating descent into the life of a workaholic artist whose brilliance and addiction are inseparable, told through a fever dream of performance, surgery, and mortality.

Joe Gideon is at the top of the heap, one of the most successful directors and choreographers in musical theater. But he can feel his world slowly collapsing around him - his obsession with work has almost destroyed his personal life, and only his bottles of pills keep him going.
