A fringe therapist takes the world by storm with a galaxy-brained new approach to self-help called the Jackman Method. Through immersive sessions, he transforms wayward young men into semi-employable outsider artists—all from the comfort of his posh home office in New York City. When an unhinged ex-patient returns to his care and is chosen to headline the practice’s first ever cabaret night, the fallout is immense. Diva behavior, grueling rehearsals, and public scandal threaten to destroy not only the show but the Jackman Method itself.

In this retelling of the classic tale, Aladdin is an out of work indie-rock singer living in a video-game-world ruled by a perverted technology-obsessed Sultan.
