Maxwell Strogen is a successful plastic surgeon. But even with all his advantages he isnÕt happy. He has a racist Jewish mother, a brother he rarely speaks to, and a prized Peruvian (immigrant) wife who, along with her pregnant cousin, walk all over him. All Max wants to do is act on some of the impulses he knows will bring happiness and sanity into his life. When a crazed but wise man sheds some light upon him as well as a bit of blood, Max begins to slowly lose the dense filter that has come between his thoughts and his actions.
Follow Max as he tries to divorce his unappreciative wife while leaving her with little to nothing of his money, and the only way to do that is to spend it all. As his filter dissipates, his actions become more and more questionable. But is he losing his mind or just seeing things for what they really are?
