Recent med-school graduate David Tracey just lost his residency. With $584,000 of student loan debt and his dream of being a "real doctor" destroyed, he discovers a loophole: If he can perform 1,920 hours of supervised clinical therapy, he'll still be able to help people for a living. Now all he needs is a supervising therapist, and patients willing to come to his office...in his parents' garage.

On the brink of exhaustion from working two jobs, David falls asleep everywhere he goes. He and his mother remember David's father by going to one of his favorite places. David gets advice from an unexpected source.
