When Herb, a bud-peddling paper store clerk, accidentally discovers The Secrets of Maskville, a mysterious book of capital-T Truth, he's forced to confront his troubled past, namely his ex, Bobbi Yi Li, owner of the town's only jazz club and grower of the very bud Herb peddles.
But as the book's mystery deepens, it begins to draw out Herb's own buried psychosis, blurring the line between revelation and breakdown.
Can Herb find the answers to his biggest questions? Is the little town of Maskville real? Which way is freedom? And does she still love him?
