SYNOPSIS:

Robbie is a man about to enter his thirties.  In his free time he indulges in his obsession, researching conspiracy theories.  Robbie’s closest friend and co-worker Wynn (who was recently married to Kate) thinks Robbie needs to make a better attempt to hold down a serious relationship.  However, every time Robbie seems to meet a girl he likes, his interests in conspiracies and his overall paranoia of the world around him get the better of him.  When Robbie stumbles upon Melinda, she seems the perfect match as she has an interest in conspiracies herself.  Everything seems to be progressing happily when Robbie begins to question everything.  What are the chances that he found someone like Melinda so randomly?  How is it possible they see eye-to-eye on so much and never disagree?  What are her real motives?  She can’t possibly love him, can she?  Robbie, with the help of his hallucinations, decides it’s time to look into things a little deeper.  How could calamity not ensue?
