When Jake enters psychoanalysis, his plan is to get some direction in life and rid himself of his anxiety. But Jake's therapist, the infamous Dr. Morales, is a strict Freudian, and his methods of treatment aren't exactly a cure for anxiety. In fact, Jake finds himself even more anxious as well as the doctor begins to appear at inconvenient times, sometimes almost as if a strange hallucination.

Soon, Jake is nearly hopeless that he'll ever find autonomy, much less happiness. That is, until he meets Allegra, a beautiful widow, who is struggling to maintain custody of the child she was in the process of adopting. Dr. Morales is against the relationship and urges Jake to back away. But pressure from his doctor, as well as his own doubts about Allegra's intentions, causes Jake to withdraw. And it is only then that he realizes how much he is really in love with Allegra. But his epiphany appears to have come too late.
