Stone Arabia tells the story of a brother and sister, Nik and Denise, now in their 40s. Denise is the reluctant caregiver in the family, dealing with an ailing mother and single-parenting her 20-something daughter. Nik is a failed rock musician. Rather than confront his lack of success head-on, Nik creates a fictional world where his imaginary band releases records; they're reviewed; there's correspondence with "fans"; fawning press coverage; and more. It's all very ornate, and somewhat charming; if also deranged.
