Synopsis/Details
Izzie, and her friends, Brad and Susan, go visit Pete, the Guru, who has a brother, Max, known as the Tard. Izzie is a
rhymer, but Max is a hopeless failed comedian, with an undisclosed past that made him reject himself and life in general.
Izzie tries to help Max find himself. They go on a road journey but get nowhere, except they find an auction where the
fixtures and fittings of a courthouse are being sold off, as justice is now going online. Max buys the gavel and sounding
block.
They go back home, and Max gets an obsession to build a small pond in his garden. He gets the pond built and fills it with
water. Izzie reflects that Max is pond life.
Max remains morose until Izzie and Susan kiss him on the cheek. This act of love opens him up to the future and he agrees
that he is grateful for his life.
