Hudson Milbank, portrayed by [Matthew Perry], is a modestly successful screenwriter whose quiet confidence begins to unravel as a strange mood takes hold. He finds himself detached from the world around him, unable to connect with people or his surroundings in a way that feels both unsettling and alien.
