In this surreal, dark comedy, a misguided loner named Quincy is forced to abandon the comforts of his daily routine and re-examine his life after his elderly upstairs neighbor spontaneously combusts.
"Wait for the Dog" explores grief, depression, and perseverance of the human spirit, as we try to triumph over those pesky voices that bring us down.
