Dana Jaeger, a single woman in her early 40s with an unswerving allegiance to a state of arrested adolescence and Murphy, the opinionated canine for whom she is sitting for an ex-lover tell a charming tale of relationships and understanding. Often hilarious, full of colorful and compelling characters and laced with humor and romance, The Hidden Life of Humans exposes a world of hidden truths, equivocating realities and parallel galaxies.
