When an alien takeover infiltrates our society, stripping people of their identities, citizens must decide what they're willing to give up to be happy.

...The doctor is in.

Floor Thirteen Theatrical Laboratory is thrilled to announce our second season, “The Happiness Treatment,” consisting of five unsettling and interlocked pieces:

I. The Procedure: A woman returns home after receiving a sensational new Treatment for unhappiness, but her friends find that she doesn't quite seem herself.

II. The Encounter: An idealistic student takes an otherwordly being prisoner, only to find it knows more about her than she knows about it.

III. The Newsroom: Visitors from another world may have taken over society, but the morning news still gets done.

IV. The Performance: When the leading man of a play is murdered, the show must go on - but can the cast figure out whodunnit first?

V. The Escape: A group of rebels take refuge from the world in an abandoned mall, but they find some problems aren't so easy to run away from.
