About
If performing makes you anxious... change your tune.
Jeff and Peter live together, but their characters are worlds apart. Jeff is a messy, hippy musician, while Peter is a tidy, almost obsessive, office worker. As a couple, they struggle for connection. While Peter finds pleasure in the steamy solitude of the shower, Jeff explores his sensual delights in an imaginary world of exotic dreams.
