“Bern's got an eye problem, Linds has a Bern problem.”
Bern's got an eye problem and does not want to leave the house. Light hurts him, and so does life. So he calls upon his sister-in-law Linds, who's working through grad school as a waitress but is the closest thing to a doctor he's got. As the only frustrated family left in his life, she drags him onto the streets with a pillowcase over his head to face a "real" doctor and his own anxieties.

Werner Ernst is a young hospital resident who becomes embroiled in a legal battle between two half-sisters who are fighting over the care of their comatose father. But are they really fighting over their father's care, or over his $10 million estate? Meanwhile, Werner must contend with his nutty supervisor, who insists that he only care for patients with full insurance. Can Werner sidestep the hospital's legal team and do what's best for the patient?

An unlikely friendship kindles between a struggling stand-up comedian from L.A. — forced to move back home to Eastern Long Island with his tail between his legs — and a tragically flawed, but charming and charismatic, alcoholic dermatologist. Discovering to be kindred spirits, each helps the other find healing, in addition to the confidence to face the "failures" in their lives.
