Victor Mancini (
Sam Rockwell) has got some problems -- when he's not at Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings hunting for women to bed, he masquerades as a choking victim in restaurants as a scheme to gather money from unsuspecting strangers, which he uses to keep his ailing mother (
Anjelica Huston) in a high-end extended-care facility for her extreme dementia. But what happens when this messed up Colonial-era theme-park employee finds Mrs. Right in the guise of his mother's doctor -- and how can he give their relationship a try when she tells him he's the next coming of Jesus Christ? Based on
Chuck Palahniuk's (
Fight Club) pitch-black comedic novel,
Choke is adapted and directed by
David Mamet alumni
Clark Gregg, whose career spans stage, screen, and TV work as well as a screenplay credit for
Robert Zemeckis' 2000
thriller What Lies Beneath.
