Free Choice is an illusion. Everything we think, say, and do is colored by the circumstances of our birth, subsequent life experiences, and the stuff we think we possess. In an ironic twist, the only way we can really achieve a modicum of freedom is by realizing that we don't have it to begin with. Then, we can put up a resistance. Most insidious of all is when our stuff begins to control our lives. That's what Veronica and Andrew find themselves dealing with. Andrew, overburdened by the responsibility of maintaining a lifestyle that leaves him with little or no time for personal enjoyment, seeks to flee the present and return to the care-free past he once enjoyed as a street artist. Veronica, on the other hand, fears becoming re-trapped by a dark and sinister past she's fled from to gain her present freedom. As his wife tries to maintain the status quo, Andrew sets out on an adventure of self-discovery that affects many others along the way. In the end, will the two find common ground, or will their disparate paths end up with them hopelessly lost to each other?
