What if you woke up and found Jesus Christ (J.C.) sitting on your sofa watching a soap opera?

Synopsis

Rock Albertson, a frustrated, middle-aged writer spends his days editing other peoples' books and on the advice of his shrink, his evenings painting landscapes. Rock's days are empty save his burnt out assistant Jessica and his "fabulous" boyfriend James. After meeting a mysterious stranger on the way to his train, Rock begins to question it all, including his sanity. Next, Rock and James suddenly find themselves sharing their Midtown Manhattan apartment with an uninvited "holy" houseguest. What do you do when you wake up and find Jesus Christ (J.C.) on your sofa watching a soap opera? And how would you explain it to your Mother?
