Project Description

GIRL (a self-appointed sex therapist who shape-shifts into her clients’ most vulnerable fantasies) gets picked up by TOM (an unusually small man from an over-the-top men’s therapy group) and together they flee their absurdly dysfunctional lives, erupting in a phantasmagoria of violence, disillusionment, and a LOVERS-ON-THE-RUN SEARCH FOR HOME.
