A modern retelling of the classic tale of the journey into the self. Driven on by the cognitive dissonance of modern ideology, our hero, Sleepy Doormat, confronts his own inner ghosts in a freakish nightmare brought on by an encounter with a radical activist and mass media consumption. A low budget high concept rock operetta for all to enjoy.
