Synopsis/Details
Every family has their fables. Some may even be true. But TV legend DR. APOLLO and his children can't agree on basic facts. And now, with Alzheimer's clouding his mind, the radical doctor must bend the rules of science to cure himself before his memories disappear. He'll need help to find a miracle and parse facts from his own fictions. But he can't trust his son, CHARY, a cynical lobbyist with utter distain for truth. Nor can he rely on his daughter, MILA, a credulous social media influencer and medium to the stars. And his grandson, SUNNY, a biohacking, podcasting psychonaut, is too busy altering his consciousness. So he keeps his diagnosis a secret until he reconnects with his estranged daughter, VERA, an unemployed scientist and ardent skeptic who considers her father a dangerous quack. Vera agrees to return home for the first time in six years to the family she hates and the father she believes is responsible for her mom's death. And the two must bridge their fundamentally different scientific approaches to find a cure before the family's memories disappear along with Apollo's dwindling brain function.
