A New Brain follows Gordon, a struggling composer, whose life is turned upside down by the diagnosis of a brain tumor. Surrounded by his partner, mother, co-worker, and an eccentric medical team, Gordon drifts in and out of consciousness while trying to finish songs for a children’s television show featuring Mr. Bungee — a character who begins to infiltrate his medical nightmare. As he faces mortality, Gordon is forced to confront his relationships, his career, and ultimately the healing power of art.
