The film tells the story of Martha Hoffman, an eccentric and wealthy patron who is committed to a psychiatric clinic by her daughters. The expert witness Casares investigates whether this is a scheme to control their mother’s fortune or if Martha truly suffers from a form of dementia that endangers her well-being and that of her family.
The story is said to follow a pair of loner college undergrads, Jack and Montgomery, who order a take-out pie, but accidentally take a homemade drug that turns a two-floor journey downstairs into a “mind-bendingly transformative quest.”
