"An absorbing exploration of identity, family dynamics and the mysterious psychic push-and-pull balance of the universe. There is lots to admire and love."
Abby (DeWitt), is a sought after massage therapist and a free spirit, while her brother Paul (Pais) thrives on routine, running a failing dental practice with his assistant and daughter Jenny (Page). Suddenly, Abby develops an aversion to bodily contact, which not only makes her unable to do her job, but also severely affects her relationship with her boyfriend. As Abby navigates her way through an identity crisis, her brother's dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his “healing touch.”
