A high-energy sketch-comedy satire that uses a memory-altering drug premise to explore happiness, escapism, and the dark side of pharmaceutical solutions with absurdist humor and surreal character work.

A pharmaceutical scientist creates a pill that makes people remember their happiest memory, and although it's successful, it has unfortunate side effects.
