β¦ Synopsis
Brendan Blankenshipβs life is going exactly as he planned. Heβs the CEO of an engineering firm that manufactures β among other things β automatic defibrillators, heβs got a great relationship with his twin brother, Evan, and their offbeat, colorful mother, and he has a veritable smorgasbord of men to choose from every weekend if he wants to have a little fun. Sure, heβs high strung, but that goes with the territory of type A personality and coffee achiever.
After Brendan and his mother witness a completely random tragedy his carefully controlled life begins to fall apart. First he starts having nightmares and panic attacks, and then he loses focus in his daily life. His board of directors insists he take a vacation at a so-called βrelaxation destinationβ and to make matters worse, theyβve hired a stress management consultant to accompany him.
Enter Dirk Melovitch, whose job it is to help Brendan learn to relax. Unfortunately, from the moment they set out together, everything goes terribly, horribly wrong. What happens when a messed up, stressed out businessman and a newly licensed therapist with an old hippie soul embark on the trip from hell?
