Untitled - Life On The Ledge
SYNOPSIS LIFE ON THE LEDGE is a dark comedy about a guy who wants to die until he finds out that he’s actually dying. Brian Leib (Lewis Helfer), a thirty-two year old, ritualistic neurotic recluse who lives with his paranoid parents (Tovah Feldshuh, Mark Blum), only leaves his house on Tuesdays to see his psychiatrist. His days are kept as simple as the loaf of bread he makes each morning; the first slice his breakfast, the last slice his desert-- which gives him a “sense of closure for the day.” On the verge of jumping he finds a tumor on his neck. Through this new found bad news he gets the strength to talk to Claire (Melissa Sagemiller), another patient of his psychiatrist’s. Claire, a beautiful stripper with a badly stained childhood lets her male guard down and lets Brian in. In order to protect Claire, Brian gets involved with a motley crew of gangsters (Gale Harold, David Thornton, Daphne Rubin Vega, Smokey), faces his fears and gains the will to live...but is it too late?
