Conrad Metcalf has problems. He has a monkey on his back, a rabbit in his waiting room, and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. (Maybe evolution therapy is not such a good idea.)He's been shadowing Celeste, the wife of an affluent Oakland urologist. Maybe falling in love with her a little at the same time.

It's funny. It's not so funny.
