Synopsis
Philly is sequestered in a hospital for the criminally insane by hospital staff, friends, and family, whom suppress his anger by keeping him constantly drugged. Having euthenized his crazy sick mother, a family tradition, and dealing with his adulterous wife has sent him over the edge.Told in a non-linear fashion, the story unfolds and transitions between Philly's hospital prison cell and his fantasy; a bizarre water world full of monsters, giant fish, a wall of water, imagined friendships and enemies, fantastical sounds and music, and revealing personal catharsis.
The audience becomes both participant and observer through Philly's eyes as, stuck in prison, Philly enacts revenge for his wife's affair and attains closure for what he did to his mother in his own mind. Will he attain self forgiveness rooted in reality?
