A middle-class African American couple's life is shattered when the wife begins receiving death threats.

The family must decide if its schizophrenia, are the dreams a cosmic death threat or has the husband become unstuck from this reality and become stuck between worlds.

It is a finely honed work that always engages and frequently surprises.
