Jessica has a younger psychiatrist lover, one Dr. Robert Hoffman (Ramy Zada), who’s somehow able to hypnotize the fella into signing documents against his will, and even talking to his lawyer on the phone, urging the lawyer to quickly move forward in turning all of his worldly possessions over to Jessica.
