A seriously New Age journalist coerces her college professor husband and another couple to drink an elixir made from a special ingredient her newest Healer has sold her. The fact that the psychic is certifiable and the ingredient is the urine of a mountain Ibex doesn’t faze the friends, a sleazy car salesman and his former stripper wife, both of whom are convinced that they’re experiencing the promised enlightenment. A fiercely funny and twisted look at our society’s lust for the easy panacea, THE ELIXIR offers a delicious brew of five absurdly eccentric and shamelessly egocentric characters.
