“A short film inspired by Rush's 1978 song 'Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres'”
Gern Fletcher is stuck in the middle of a boring and dull life - void of creativity, color or energy. Tonight, though teased with assured instant relief from his doldrums, his logic pulls him into the restroom to 'think about it'. So begins the classic battle of heart and mind. This short film was inspired by the rock band Rush's 1978 album of the same title.

Two married couples find only trouble and heartache as their complicated lives unfold. After 40 years of marriage, Alfie leaves his wife to pursue what he thinks is happiness with a call girl. His wife, Helena, reeling from abandonment, decides to follow the advice of a psychic. Sally, the daughter of Alfie and Helena, is unhappy in her marriage and develops a crush on her boss, while her husband, Roy, falls for a woman engaged to be married.

Hudson Milbank is a successful Hollywood screenwriter who suddenly and strangely finds himself without any emotional feelings. He tries doctor after doctor and shrink after shrink, but nothing works. The Golf Channel, lesbian exercise classes and a dizzying variety of pills get him through the day, but don't quite solve his problem. His writing partner tries everything to get him back to normal, but it's not until Hudson meets Sara that he finds a real motivation to get better and to actually start feeling again. From the writer of Deuce Bigalow, comes NUMB, a romantic comedy following an unusual man looking for strange love.
