Ira & Abby

The film follows the story of Ira Black (Chris Messina), a 33-year-old psychology Ph.D. candidate with therapist parents. Black has been in an on-and-off relationship with Lea (Maddie Corman) for the past nine years and is unsatisfied with their relationship on many levels. His therapist informs him that their 12 years of doctor-patient relationship must come to a close as therapy clearly is not helping him. The therapist encourages Black to be spontaneous, finish his dissertation, and do things he would not normally do.
