Chairs are everywhere. We cannot avoid them. Everywhere we turn in society, there they are, in one form or another. So what if you were so obsessed with chairs that they were controlling your daily life? This is the very affliction which Joel Judson still suffers from. So one night he decides to seek help, and becomes the last patient of the day for his new psychiatrist, Seraphina Brooks. As Joel regales his peculiar condition, Seraphina is drawn into a situation she never expected.
