It’s monsoon season in Phoenix, Arizona, and recently separated couple Danny and Julia are spiraling into chaos. A strip club’s flashing neon sign is keeping Danny awake at night, and Julia’s Adderall addiction has only gotten worse since her dealer moved in. Danny is suffering from micro-blackouts and Julia keeps seeing a giant bird in her backyard. Is anyone watching their kid? This romantic comedy for a toxic world by 2019 AFO Artist In Residence Lizzie Vieh comes alive with biting humor and blinding insight.
