Foxtail
John is a 30 something every-man car mechanic who's down on his luck. His business is going under, his wife has left him for a richer man, and daily he has to manage the misfits that frequent his garage not to mention the ones that he employs. His stress is at breaking point.
After an accident John suddenly develops the ability to hear and talk to straight talking and often rude animals who care little for humanity and their issues. He quickly comes into contact with a charming but boisterous and trouble causing fox called Morris.
John is pulled into Morris' world (and vice versa) with the pair causing mayhem and mischief wherever they go. Yet is Morris just a figment of John's inner psyche brought on by stress and the accident or can he really talk to the animals?
