Sigrid Anderssen, Oscar Winner Melissa Leo from The Fighter, is a hot young novelist who has a bad case of writers block. To clear her mind she answers an ad in the newspaper placed by Red, True Bloods Sam Trammell, a man who is driving cross-country and needs a partner. Along the way, they pick up Reds identical twin brother Tom and three embark on a surreal journey, providing a new outlook on life for Sigrid and more writing material than she ever bargained for. Hear 60s garage music played by the mythic band The Fabulous Failures, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth and Evan Lurie of the Lounge Lizards, lends a creepy narration to this tale of forgotten phantoms.

A girl is sewing in her playroom when a boy sneaks in and lets loose a horde of mice into her doll house. She is fascinated because one of them can speak. They chat for a while, and the mouse tells them a story of a wizard friend who tried one day to make a potion that would render all things beautiful. He turns lizards into doves and a toad into a squirrel successfully, but when his back is turned another bottle accidentally opens up and spills into the Beauty Elixer. When he tries it on a batch of caged mice, they turn into little devils that chase him around his shop. They wreak havoc and eventually turn him into a giant rabbit, but he's then saved by the doves, who mix a potion that reverts him to his human form and the devils back into mice.
