The play follows David Nguyen, an aspiring astronaut with an undiagnosed personality disorder. Freshly fired from his job at NASA, he comes home to his long-suffering wife, Mary, who has recently endured a devastating medical emergency. Their already strained relationship is further complicated by Mary’s younger brother, Caleb, who has special needs and requires around the clock care. What appears to be the worst day of their lives turns out to be a stroke of luck for David, who comes across a unique lottery that will give him a chance to travel to the moon. With the odds stacked against him, David tests the bounds of sanity and morality (and his marriage) to win a ticket. Whimsy and drama collide as the deeply-flawed characters come to realize that relationships aren’t rocket science…they are much more complicated.
