Finding Felicity
Passed over for a promotion at work, Devin wonders if his life has meaning; will he ever find that elusive happiness human beings all seek. While at a party attempting to drown his sorrows, the host suffers a tragic accident. Moments later, Devin meets the beautiful and mysterious Felicity, who somehow knows this dead man's tale. Felicity offers to share with him the whirlwind romance of Professor Ardor, who gets lost in the deceptive perfection of escapism. Using this and subsequent allusive stories, Devin's interactions with this enigmatic woman help him uncover the faulty ways people search for happiness, when the feelings they find are fleeting. Only then, can he discover genuine happiness and bring lasting meaning to his life.
