Plot

Act l

Huxley, Grant, and Luce separately obtain LSD. Each is dealing with a problem: Huxley is grieving his wife's death, Grant his ineptitude with women, and Luce her guilt over the deaths of her mother and daughter.[11] Huxley takes LSD at the drugstore where he obtained it, and imagines the figures from the painting “Judith With the Head of Holofernes” coming to life around him ("Bella Donna Di Agonia").[11][12] Grant's first trip sees him meeting his younger self and his violent father ("I Have It All"/"Funny Money").[11][12][13]

The three ultimately meet at the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood.[11]

Act ll

Huxley, Grant, and Luce gather at Luce's estate in Malibu, where they proceed on LSD trips with Gerald Heard as their guide.[11]
