Afraid of EVERYTHING yet expected to function in the world, one woman attempts to get through the day and find the funny along the way. Join her as she braves restaurants, door handles, close-talkers, dating, walk-in clinics galore, counsellors whose grip on reality maybe more questionable than hers, and one ill-fated attempt at running for serenity.
