Voice of Authority

You know that voice in your head, the one that thinks you're an idiot? That's what Dean calls the voice of authority, and it always make sure he knows he'll fail at whatever he tries!

But when Dean takes on a dream job working for his rich uncle, he’s pretty sure he’s got that voice beat...until the US Dept. of Justice hits him with a $19 million dollar lawsuit. Caught in a bureaucratic nightmare while his uncle goes AWOL, Dean turns to the only friend who will listen: a ballet dancer named Zachary. Through stories of his WWII days as a soldier and life in the dance world, Zachary helps Dean realize that getting in trouble isn’t the end of the world. The true story of turning a complete catastrophe into a pretty damn good musical number.
