i am not a chimpanzee

i am not a chimpanzee introduces Sam and Margaret Waxman, a Park Avenue couple deteriorating after the death of their son Bobby in 9/11. Sam’s a retired corporate lawyer who’s traded his white shoes for hi-tops and urban leisure wear, and spends his time doing drugs under his kitchen table. Wife Margaret has left him for the chimpanzees at a sanctuary at the Bronx Zoo, where she performs increasingly amorous experiments. When they hire a Queens hooker in a last ditch effort to save their marriage, she overdoses in their kitchen and they’re confronted with the realities of their lives.
