Penned by acclaimed actor Wallace Shawn of The Princess Bride, My Dinner with Andre and Clueless fame, The Fever tells the story of a well-travelled urban socialite. One night in a run-down hotel, having left the comforts of 5-star resorts, she is struck by a feverish vision about the struggle of the developing world around her. She envisions a new life filled with grace and compassion for those less fortunate than her.
