Synopsis
A surrealist romp through the life of James Jeremiah Johnson, a dilettante university student/local indie star who has discovered his lone ability to communicate with nature after a vision from the ‘Star Queen’. Following his increasingly vague dream, James is lead on a series of wild misadventures from Provo to the southern Utah wilderness encountering along the way an austere university professor, a singing coke bottle, a tortured artist, a scandalous moonflower, and a withered curmudgeon of a juniper tree. After the self-proclaimed success of his vision quest, James returns to Provo for a concert that will change the local scene forever.
