Joey Tucci is a comedic force of nature and a star on the rise.
With the title role in a one-man show and the
promise of a major network sitcom on the horizon,
success has hit an an early age for the young entertainer.
On the other hand, multiple episodes of
tempestuous and unpredictable behavior are
slowly checkering the funnyman's glowing
reputation.
At the behest of his long-suffering sister
and manager, Peg, Joe agrees to begin
weekly therapy in an attempt to salvage the
havoc left in his wake.
Professional turmoil aside, Joe manages to find
solace in the form of a brusque cafe girl, Elizabeth,
who quickly becomes his voice of reason and
trusted friend - a relationship that further develops
tension when Joe's feelings go far beyond platonic.
Meanwhile, the therapy sessions unravel years of
personal demons, unsettled emotional trauma...and
an even more surprising diagnosis that will
forever change the once bombastic comic.
