The document is a script that follows the morning routines of the Turner family through various dreams and realities. In one dream, Jack imagines his family serving him while in another dream Maya imagines her family waiting on her. Both dreams turn chaotic. When they wake up, their mornings play out more normally with Jack and Maya getting ready together while their parents make breakfast, though the atmosphere is awkward. The script explores the fantasies and realities of a typical family morning routine.
