[edit] Plot

In Hollywood, people in need revolve around Dr. Henry Carter, a shrink: Jack, an aging star wants permission to cheat on his wife; Shamus is an actor addicted to cocaine; Patrick is a high-powered, germophobic agent; Jeremy is a young writer looking for a break; Jemma, an underprivileged high-school student, is skipping school; and Kate is an actress facing her mid-30s. Henry's wife recently died; he's grieving, blaming himself, and smoking lots of marijuana to numb the pain. Henry's friends try an intervention; someone steals a patient's file from Henry; Patrick's assistant, the pregnant Daisy, sees promise in Jeremy's work; and, Jesus, Henry's drug dealer, sells him some potent weed.
