Discovering his daily life is consumed by mentally draining obstacles, Jack Humanick decides to seek help from a renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Patricia Kreidel. Patricia becomes an immediate sympathizer to Jack's everyday drama - the out of touch boss who Jack despises, the encounters with a cocky coworker gunning for Jack's job, and an ill mother whose high expectations add to his already heightened stress level. All of this compiles with the always intolerable customers he must satisfy to keep the store numbers high, and his job intact. After uncovering Jack's problems in her first session with him, Dr. Kreidel begins to realize the picture Jack is painting for her may not be as abstract as initially thought, but more so a symbol of realism.
