When thirty-something Mikey is overcome by a fierce personal crisis, he returns to his parental home in Tribeca, New York, and moves into his old room. Less is more in this intriguing mix of feature film story and personal revelations: Mikey is on his way to the airport after visiting his parents when he decides to stay on. He goes back to the building in which he grew up, in Manhattan, back to his nursery, that is now a storage space. He lies to his parents about the reason for his return, calls his wife in California who is looking after her crying baby and also lies to her. Mikey seems to have succumbed to a severe personal crisis.
