Rescued from a watery grave, Minn vows to re-create his unfortunate personal life in phoenix-like fashion, rising triumphantly from the ashes of his sad, closeted private existence.
But he is thwarted in his every attempt at transformation. The world seems to be conspiring against him. For one thing, Minn must finally come out as gay to his parents, but they are unavailable. What's more, Friday, Minn's office manager and his secret love, is leaving the job for academia.
As if that weren't enough, Minn's professional world is turned upside down by a devastatingly sexy patient who, under hypnosis, reveals a horrific alien abduction by terrifying, menacing, grotesque salmon-colored dinosaur-humanoid monsters from another dimension. Frustrations, roadblocks, and other setbacks align, making it near impossible for Minn to keep his sacred promise.
