Five men start a week long intensive entitled “Facing Toxic Masculinity.” Sam is here because his wife won’t return his calls. Also his daughter blocked him on Facebook. It’s only day two and now he must interact with a real live woman named Pocket. It’s his second child’s birthday next week and he’s desperate to figure out how to be less of a douchebag in time.
