Katherine refuses to eat blue M&Ms in protest of the tan ones being removed from the bag fifteen years ago; she likes to watch a pilates DVD from New Zealand and she hasn’t showered in a week. Her brother, Auggie, bursts on the scene in an effort to move her with a cabaret night club and an other-worldly charisma in tow. The only problem is: she doesn’t have a brother. Sift through Katherine’s world of Pepperidge Farm Cookie boxes and heavily medicated day-mares to determine what is dream and what is reality — and what exactly are the consequences of tampering with the delicate balance in between?
