Description

Henry, an up and coming executive, obeys his employer and stonewalls a coroner’s inquest into the death of a young girl. His results in the grief-stricken mother’s suicide. It also transfers unbearable guilt and shame onto Henry, who loses his job and his mind. In Henry’s collapsed world things no longer add up, and dreams are interwoven with daylight. But along with his desperation come sharpened, if distorted, perceptions that are often as hilarious as they are terrifying.
