The play takes place in 1970 and runaway Jonah Goodson is in the belly of the beast, confined at California's notorious Atascadero Psychiatric Hospital. His "sickness?" Homosexuality. Navigating a psychotropic maze of barbaric treatments, he encounters the most unlikely guides. But are they real or imagined?
