Summary

Johnny is fine. His best friend and writing partner, Jace, is dead. But Johnny is fine. It’s really not a problem that the animated TV duck that Johnny created with Jace appears at Jace’s funeral and begins speaking to Johnny with Jace’s voice. Through messy memories, this unreliable narrator must learn to untangle his co-dependency from Jace by facing his unrequited feelings and opening his heart to new possibilities. Maybe by letting go of the show, Johnny can learn to let go of his own grief and say goodbye to Jace – and Dick – for good.
