A broad, high-energy comedy that mines absurdist humor from the collision of Eastern spiritualism and Western sports culture, centered on a self-help guru's misadventures in romance and redemption.

Born in America and raised in an Indian ashram, Pitka returns to his native land to seek his fortune as a spiritualist and self-help expert. His skills are put to the test when he must get a brokenhearted hockey player's marriage back on track in time for the man to help his team win the Stanley Cup.
