SYNOPSIS

What does a clinical psychiatrist do when his clinically insane patients are replaced with the  clinically heart-broken?

Dr. Terrence N. Thiebold is a former All-American UCLA linebacker and now the leading clinical psychiatrist on the West Coast. He’s a stoic and regimented gentleman; apathetic to a fault but hugely successful in treating the criminally insane. However, Terrence’s very ordered and unemotional lifestyle is about to take a dramatic turn.

When Terrence's his flighty self-serving colleague, DR. KNOWLES, embarks on a hedonistic journey of debauchery, Terrence becomes the reluctant therapist  for twelve melodramatic emotionally distraught individuals in the midst of tumultuous break-ups. Terrence handles his new responsibilities like any uptight, anal-retentive advanced degreed professional -- he runs for the hills!

Terrence's new foul-mouthed, sexually-unsatisfied, career-obsessed, lonely and hopeless clients take through the gamut of emotional frustrations ultimately putting his marriage in jeopardy. Matters become even more complicated when Terrence is offered a job at a prestigious Beverly Hills mental health clinic contingent on his successful results with his new patients.

Will Terrence toss pragmatic bookish methodologies away in favor of learning to counsel from the heart? Or will he succumb to his own inner demons and the ugly truth behind his obsessive rebellion against the vulnerability of love and emotions?
