Storyline
The story's hero (played by Jim Metzler) has lost much of his spine and the love of his life, due to cancer. He's in remission; but decimated in body, shattered in mind, and separated from inner\spiritual peace. Richard uses "object therapy" suggested by his lifelong pal (John Ritter)to project his consciousness into an alternative reality, where he becomes "Rick Stone" - a soft-hearted, tough acting, Private Dick (P.I.) It is here that he works through his existential fight to survive and transcend life. Written by DRory

Found this DVD for five dollars ($5.00) in a discount store and was very entertained by the great musical sounds and Andrea Thompson, (The Blonde/Jade Norflect), "NYPDBlue 2000", who decided to become Eve in the Garden of Eden and appeared stark naked from head to toe. This story revolves around Jim Metzler, (Richard/Rick Stone) "Under the Influence",'02, who has a spinal problem which requires he stays in a a wheel chair; however, Richard is very well off and has plenty of help. Richard meets up with John Ritter, (Duncan/Bartender), who gives Richard a few ideas about leaving his body in a mystical manner and plays the role of another person. This suggestion pays off and Richard is able to play a sort of Sam Spade type of detective who has a blonde gal as a client or so called playmate. This film greatly surprised me and for some reason, never realized it was released on the silver screen.
