It’s a coming of age comedy about a four guys, in 1975, who do a college comedy radio show, and come up against the limits of creativity, political activism, new wave feminism, and major mother issues.

It’s loosely based on my own experience of doing a satirical radio show in college in the late 1970’s (and there's a chance for some very funky costuming).

Hopeless neurotic Wendell Parnell, at the recommendation of therapist Dr. Francis Stein, stays at her remote cabin in the woods for an introspective weekend alone -- only to find a man in a bathrobe staying there as well. Ed Pasternak claims to be a patient of the same therapist invited for the same purpose. Did Dr. Stein make a mistake? Was this her plan? Or is Ed even who he says he is? A raging thunderstorm traps them together, as they struggle with a bear, rumors of an escaped, convict, serial killer, a suspicious gun, and each other’s psychosis. And when Dr. Stein’s secret is revealed, their worlds are turned upside down.
