The(ir) Blurb...

When it's your birthday, the least you expect is a 'Happy Birthday'. A missed phone call leads our hero to the therapist's couch, where he starts testifying his own 'suspicious' reality. His girlfriend, is at the gym. His friend, is about to take a nap. And his therapist, was listening to Mahler's Eight. Or, finally, is it that the environment is not as peaceful as he thought it was?
