Life is absurd, prickly and oftentimes indecipherable. In the midst of this realization, sometimes the hardest question to answer is; who am I? Trapped by circumstances of his own making, Steve Mitchell has particular trouble finding the answer to this question. Married to a woman he doesn't love, Steve doesn't recognize the person he is supposed to be, the husband and father role seems alien. His despair materializes as daily and vivid suicide fantasies. Reality for Steve becomes especially slippery and tenuous when friends and strangers start to quote the wisdom from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet. Chicago becomes more surreal when he meets Debra, who takes him places he only imagined, exploring sexuality in a way he never could with his wife, but the national tragedy of September 11th jolts Steve's world off a cliff. Finding Bartholomew is an edgy, fantastical and erotic romp through the challenges of the modern family, love and relationships.
