SYNOPSIS:

Cutting edge augmented reality technology combines with a poignant mother-son story that finds a heart in today's harsh business world. Software developer Philip Berman is overseeing development of a game code-named Sabertooth, an augmented reality game that overlays its players and components on the world around us. We see a great tiger wandering through the street of New York, so real people jump when they watch it on screen.

Philip’s boss, PJ Stroud, PJ, while beyond retirement age, has been wiped out financially by bad advice from his broker. So when the VC’s backing their company, New Image Software, start demanding that Sabertooth be released to boost the company’s upcoming IPO, as important as the money would be to him, Philip objects while PJ pushes.

Philip's mom, Sylvia, an amazing woman, can return a coat to Lord & Taylor even when it was on Final Sale No Returns! An elegant, stately woman, Sylvia suddenly begins to decline rapidly, starting with hallucinations, ending up in the hospital, throwing Philip into a tailspin. Which is made worse when his girlfriend Shelley, who works at an elegant contemporary art gallery and is being pressured to make more sales, accuses him of selling out his dreams.

A stupid accident, born of his frustration, puts Philip in the hospital where he awakes to find himself in the hospital, in the adjacent bed to his mother! From there he confronts the battle for his soul between his boss’s corruption and his mother’s values.
