A dark comedy-drama about a grieving therapist's spiral into substance abuse and professional dissolution, balancing sardonic humor with genuine despair.

Unable to cope with a recent personal tragedy, LA's top celebrity shrink turns into a pothead with no concern for his appearance and a creeping sense of his inability to help his patients.
