DEAR J
tells the story of a man named James Jamisin
who must cope with the unexpected death of his agnostic girlfriend: Paige.
His torment revolves around the existential questions of life-after-death and her
ultimate eternal destiny.

(Maya Serhan) before her death. }}
 To sort things out, James admits himself into Logous Psychiatric Institute, where he replays a make-believe Trial
in his mind over and over again.
The Trial is presided over by a no-nonsense imaginary Judge (played by Karen Lynn Gorney) and
is animated by an array of off-the-wall characters. Some of the witnesses called to
the stand are inspired by real-life individuals,
like the literary scholar and apologist C.S. Lewis.

Dr. Frolick (played by Allison Lane) is the newest psychologist at the institute and has been assigned to
James' case. As she seeks to unravel the clues to his predicament,
the Director of the Institute, Dr. Donovin (played by Carson Grant), seems bent on shipping
James out. Frolick soon discovers that James doesn't really belong at the
institute and the path
to his release lies in the still unopened letter Paige wrote before
her death. But James refuses to open the letter for fear of what he will find in
it.
{{ Photo Above Right: Dr. Frolick (played by Allison Lane) talks to James (Joseph A. Halsey) about his imaginary Trial. }}
Dr. Donovin begins to sense a growing attachment between Frolick and her
patient. With Frolick suddenly gone "on vacation," James feels the only safe
person to turn to is the Institute's janitor, Staples .
However, it is only when James is finally able to summon the courage to open
his letter that he can take the key that will release him from the prison of
his own making...
