Aaron is not really a man on the hero's journey. In the question of deal with or airfare, he'll choose airfare each and every time. So whenever a car accident leaves him all of a sudden asymmetrical, his kept arm amputated, looking on the glowing side just isn't something he's outfitted to do. Forced to come back to his boyhood home to recuperate, Aaron is met with an aging daddy (a previous Olympic biathlete flipped hoarder), a mother who's chosen to stay in a yurt with a fireman 12 years her junior, and a well-meaning sister whose insufferable man proves love is not only blind but also painfully ridiculous. As Aaron tries to make the world around him disappear in a haze of Vicodin and medical weed, the only true delight in his life comes from daily 90-second radio dots of fun science facts: the speed of falling raindrops, batteries made out of starfish, and intimate responses induced by ringtones - all informed in the lush, disembodied speech of commentator Sunny Lee, with whom he falls helplessly, ridiculously in love. Aaron's obsession with Sunny only hastens his downward spiral, like pouring accelerant on the flames. Pressured to do something - anything - to go his life forward, he takes the only job they can get. As being a "fish counter-top" at the close by dam, he concludes an act of violent sacrifice to liberate the river might be his best, final option.
