Synopsis
A contemporary tale exploring the demons of our celebrity-obsessed society. Stafford Weiss is a psychotherapist and life coach who made his fortune with self-help books. His wife is the overbearing mother-manager of their 13-year-old son, a TV star recently out of drug rehab. Their estranged daughter has just been released from a psychiatric hospital and befriended a limo driver who is also an aspiring actor. One of Stafford’s celebrity clients is Havana, an actress whose dream of reprising her dead mother’s starring role from the 1960s slowly crumbles while ghosts, death and all manner of vices collide.
