Meanwhile, her uptight brother's floundering dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his healing touch. ==Plot== Abby, (Rosemarie DeWitt) a massage therapist, develops an aversion to skin shortly after her boyfriend Jesse, (Scoot McNairy) asks her to move in with him. Taking a temporary leave of absence from her work, her disgust begins to affect her relationship with Jesse as she cannot bring herself to be touched or touch him. After her suggestion that they take ecstasy together in order to help her relax goes awry Abby decides not to move in with Jesse. Meanwhile her brother Paul, (Josh Pais), is struggling financially as the family dentistry practice is crumbling and his risk-averse attitude means he refuses to seek out new clients. When his daughter Jenny (Ellen Page) invites her friend Henry in for a routine teeth-cleaning Paul is displeased. However Paul manages to accidentally cure Henry's Temporomandibular joint dysfunction and news of his healing powers begins to attract new clients. Inspired by the outpouring of enthusiasm from his clients he visits Abby's friend Bronwyn in order to learn Reiki to better help his clients. However after a disgruntled ex-client collapses in the waiting-room while screaming that Paul is a fraud his fortunes are reversed and his clients disappear. Upset at watching her father revert to his former self, Jenny runs out of the office crying. Abby decides to break up with Jesse in a note and moves in with her brother. She takes the ecstasy alone and while wandering outside meets her ex-boyfriend, Adrian (Ron Livingston). He takes her to his grandmother's home and while there she is able to touch him. Paul finds the other ecstasy tablet and he takes it while he waits for Jenny to contact him. He wanders through the city eventually ending up at Bronwyn's home where they kiss. Jenny goes to Jesse's apartment and invites him out to go see music with her. Afterwards they go back to his apartment where Jenny asks him to kiss her and he turns her down telling her he loves Abby.
