Chronic Town
Synopsis
Truman Korovin is a lonely, sharp-witted cab driver in Fairbanks, Alaska, 1980.

After an acid trip, Truman winds up in the local loony bin. Imprisoned in a grueling therapy group, Truman gets re-acquainted with loonies who are his old cab fares, which includes a local stripper he has insulted more than once. In this world, Truman must find or lose himself.
