PlayHere's the deal: Charlie and Amber both suffer from a rare condition that causes them to hallucinate, but when their psychiatrist suddenly goes missing, they rally together with the doctor’s other patients to search for him.
Along the way, they encounter secret societies, half-human half-spider centaurs, and a hidden borough of New York under the East River. But how do you find the truth when you can’t tell what’s real?

The Imperfection TEASER
"You all have this disorder, we call it 'The Imperfection,'" Marcello, leader of the Arena and line cook at Red Lobster.
1. The Three Trials
Charlie and Amber’s psychiatrist has gone missing. Or been completely erased. It’s hard to tell, because Charlie and Amber hallucinate. Which is why they need the psychiatrist. You can see the problem, right?
2. If Your Psychiatrist Has Gone Missing, Press 2
Amber and Charlie make contact with The Arena, which is either a pyramid scheme or a secret society rebelling against an unseen overlord. It's kind of hard to tell.
3. Arena For Life!
Charlie goes on a date with Inés at Red Lobster in Brooklyn. Turns out she’s local: she lives in the hidden borough of New York City that’s underneath the East River. Which is great because, let’s face it, long distance never works.
4. Your Boss Is Totally a Robot
Amber makes a new friend on the job, who happens to be a half-human half-spider centaur thing, but nbd. And Pauline is finally convinced and joins in the search for Dr. Sadler.
5. The Old Factory
Amber, Charlie, and Pauline brave the subways of Manhattan in search of the truth about Dr. Sadler, but uncovering the mystery of the Old Factory asks more questions than it answers. Plus Inés and Charlie have a misunderstanding. He totally was NOT stalking her.
6. Clarence, Can You Hear Me?
The patients rally together, while the mystery of Dr. Sadler’s is more mysterious than ever. Also, a conference call takes a deadly turn.
7. The Inventor’s Basement
Running out of medication, Amber and Charlie decide to look for the Inventor’s Basement, while Pauline and Hamish want to find the back door. Seriously, they have a plan and it does, actually, involve a back door.
8. Who Pays For The Fish, Susan?
Amber and Charlie finally confront the Sadler Institute for Human Research, and get an explanation for the mystery that makes perfect sense. No it does, just shut up already.
9. Safety Juice
The patients all face the Doctor in his inner sanctum, but The Arena is hot on their trail, and don’t even ask about the spiders. Amber’s deep knowledge of doors comes in handy. And Inés thinks Charlie may be worth a second look.
