My Heart Belongs in an Empty Big Mac Container Buried Beneath the Ocean Floor

Humorous, heartfelt, and endearing, My Heart Belongs in an Empty Big Mac Container Buried Beneath the Ocean Floor is the story of a young man (as empty as the Big Mac container itself) facing depression head on, and learning to find beauty and hope in a life mired by mental illness.

Daniel has been stalked by six-foot-tall sad-looking blue whales since childhood. Exhausted and ravaged by their miserable company (and excessive crying), 31-year-old Daniel can’t take it anymore. After breaking up with his girlfriend, Daniel, ever the fast food junkie, vows to end it all by burying his heart in an empty Big Mac container beneath the ocean floor—the only way, he feels, to responsibly end his life and keep his poisonous heart as far away from others as possible.

With the help of a wayward sad-looking blue whale, Daniel steals his ex's boat and he and the whale set off into the ocean. But once out on the water, things don't go as planned and they soon become stranded. Fighting heat stroke and delirium, surreal events unfold around them, forcing Daniel to not only confront the sad-looking blue whales and the troubled life they've forced him to live, but also his choice as to whether he truly wants to live or die.

Pulsating like an epic album by Daniel Johnston, Homeless shares a moving story about love, authenticity, and listening to the whale calls in your heart.
