Synopsis:
It started as a bedtime story. The bunny story Mary’s mom used to tell was pretty weird (and more about death and mortgage rates than you’d expect), but now it’s a way for Mary to remember times shared with her late mom.

It started as a bedtime story. The bunny story Mary’s mom used to tell was pretty weird (and more about death and mortgage rates than you’d expect), but now it’s a way for Mary to remember times shared with her late mom. So she writes it down…and it takes on a life of its own. From a fireman-centric children’s book, to a cutesy animated musical, to a terrifying energy drink commercial – every absurd adaptation creates a new form of the bunny. But does the story even belong to Mary anymore? A heartfelt comedy about what makes stories personal, and why we share them, in a world where everything gets adapted into oblivion.
