SYNOPSIS
Brad Harrison, a gay screenwriter in Hollywood, can’t sleep. ’Never could. So, on a Midnight-to-dawn journey, he decides to confront the various nocturnal demons in his life to find out why. They include his eccentric, former B-movie actress-landlady, his emotionally detached father, his kinda-sorta boyfriend…and even his unborn child!
In the end, Brad discovers his heart has a built-in lullaby….he needs only to learn how to listen to it.
