Synopsis: Comedy. Raised in India by gurus, Guru Pitka lives in the USA, hoping to get to the top of the self-help business, above Deepak Chopra. Pitka's agent brings him a great opportunity: to take as a client a professional ice hockey star, Darren Roanoke, whose talent has waned because his girlfriend Prudence has left him for a French-Canadian paramour, Jacques 'Le Coq' Grande. If Pitka can restore Darren's stellar talent, ideally by giving him the self-belief that will win Prudence back, then Pitka will be a hero and will be booked to appear on Oprah.
