Protesting his sanity and denying his name, a mental asylum inmate, ‘Ray’, is being transferred to another facility. He escapes from the ambulance and flees into the woods. Pursued by Randall, the delusional ambulance driver, the heavily sedated Ray undergoes a suburban trial by ordeal before finally making it home to his wife. But why does she call him Ian? And where’s he been for the past year? Last time she saw him he said he was just popping out for some milk. Randall curses his bad luck again. But there’s more than one Ray to fill an asylum…
