Synopsis/Details
A young man’s focus on TEACHING is blurred –
juggling grad school, money woes, and a new marriage.
His wealthy IN-LAWS care more about their daughter’s fiscal well-being than her genuine happiness, and hold little regard for virtuous vocations.
A middle-aged simpleton, the sole STUDENT in tonight’s Adult Special Ed Class, possesses the one true key to finding bliss... secret for a good life...

Cryptic, cohesive, conjured, capricious.....
Delightful, disturbing, deceptive, DELISH.

And the Jelly Donut? A tasty MacGuffin.
