Toronto-based actor and director Leo, a single father to 17-year-old Sam, approaches his acting troupe with a unique idea inspired by a dream. Instead of mounting a traditional play, they'll wear animal costumes and interact with people in the city to explore how people react to them. The group is initially skeptical, but after some consideration, they decide to participate. As they embark on this project, their experiences are influenced by their personal struggles and desires.
