'JASPER' is a snapshot of the life of Harrison, a diagnosed schizophrenic who is struggling with the disease's eroding effect on both his life and his long-supportive wife's emotional stamina. His struggle is punctuated daily by a deep quandary: is it better to take the drugs that suppress the illness but devastate the rest of his life, or to suffer the constant torment of Jasper, the embodiment of Harrison's self-loathing and guilt manifested in the form of a wicked, mischievous clown bent on seeing Harrison swinging from the end of a noose?
