Synopsis
David Selig, a middle-aged telepath living in New York City, is slowly and irreversibly losing the psychic gift that has defined and isolated him his entire life. As his power fades, he reflects on decades of failed relationships and squandered potential, confronting the terrifying question of who he will be when the last thing that made him special is gone.
