Synopsis/Details
John is a 30 something everyman car mechanic whose down on his luck. His business is going under, his wife has left him for a richer, more successful man, and daily he has to manage the misfits that frequent his garage not to mention the ones that he employs. His stress is at breaking point.
After a boxing accident John suddenly develops the ability to communicate to straight talking and often rude animals. He quickly comes into contact with a charming but boisterous and trouble causing fox called Morris.
John is pulled into Morris' world and vice versa with the pair causing mayhem and mischief wherever they go. Morris gives John relationship advice and John ends up saving Morris from a pack of huntsmen.
Yet as their capers continue is Morris just a figment of John's inner psyche brought on by stress and the boxing accident or can he really talk to the animals?
