Stand-up comedian Henry McHenry performs a regular show called ‘The Ape of God’ where he roams the stage in a bathrobe, insulting his audience with bizarre jokes and stories. After a swift courtship with world-famous soprano Ann Desfranoux, the two become engaged and shortly after they have a baby girl, Annette. After what seemed like a perfect love story, Henry and Ann are becoming distant, as Henry’s career is beginning to spiral downward after accusations and on-stage meltdowns. The small family then take a private cruise that unfortunately ends in tragedy, this causes Henry to continue sinking deeper, especially when he discovers Annette’s surprising gift, which he tries to exploit for money to save himself. When Henry thinks he is on the rise once again, the truth comes down on him like a wave and forces him to witness how destructive his past has been.
