Hector is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life.

Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results.
