A psychiatrist is asked to help a man overcome a very odd fear--the fear of the letter 'e'. When the letter is encountered by the man, visually or audibly, it causes him physical pain, which has left him a virtual recluse. Enticed by the man's trust fund and his hope that the odd affliction may lead to a publishing deal and subsequent fame and fortune, the psychiatrist determines to find a solution, or a book deal, no matter the alphabetical mine field he must traverse to attain his goals.
