Plot summary
Hudson Milbank handles the pitches for the screenplays his partner Tom writes in Los Angeles. After smoking his first joint, Hudson feels detached from himself, as though he is watching his own actions without feeling or controlling them. A doctor names the condition depersonalization, and with it come anxiety, insomnia and depression. He also believes that saying the words death or dying would cause his father's death. Hudson works his way through doctors and therapists, with disastrous results, and spends his time on long television programming. Sara Harrison, an assistant at a film development company, finds him appealing, and the two start a relationship.
