Film Description:

Synopsis

Who are you..? Who am I..? A man who calls himself P.J. (played by Howard Nash), has witnessed a horrific accident and subsequently retreats within himself. He barely talks, and doesn't even know who he is. He is brought to a state-run hospital in Brooklyn, New York, where the resident graveyard shift psychiatrist (Dr. Alan Shearson played by John Heard) tries to get through to him with the help of his assistant (Vincent Pastore) and P.J.'s bitter ex-girlfriend (Patricia Rae). All the while, the doctor is fighting his own life's demons involving his family (including his wife Evelyn played by Glynnis O?Connor), and an out-of-touch supervisor (Robert Picardo) who wants P.J. permanently committed. Relevant questions of God and faith are tackled in this dramatic, yet inspiring film based on Mark McQuown's award-winning play.
