Danny Leiner's ensemble-cast slice of life.
Dr. Trabulous (
Tony Shalhoub) is a gifted psychologist with a special knack for truly understanding his patients. When an ordinary businessman (
Jim Gaffigan) who has witnessed a terrible office tragedy seeks to gain the insight of the seasoned professional,
Dr. Trabulous helps to release a hidden rage that has slowly been eating away at the man's troubled soul. Meanwhile, in the culinary world, Great New Wonderful pastry shop proprietor
Emme Keeler (
Maggie Gyllenhaal) is about to discover that unseating the woman known as the
Queen of Cake (
Edie Falco) doesn't come without some heavy consequences. Elsewhere in the city, troubled couple
Allison (

David Burbage (

Avi (
Naseeruddin Shah) and
Satish (

And despite the comfort she takes in her daily routine,
Julie Berman (
Olympia Dukakis) discovers that her passion for life has long since died, until a visit with a childhood friend helps her to realize just what she's been missing all these lonely years.
