A surreal, operatic descent into the dark underbelly of celebrity, fame, and parenthood, told through a disorienting blend of rock opera, puppetry, and psychological unraveling.

In present-day Los Angeles, controversial stand-up comedian Henry McHenry and internationally renowned opera singer Ann Defrasnoux form the façade of a happy couple in the spotlight. Ann gives birth to a baby girl named Annette, who possesses an exceptional gift that will change all of their lives forever.
