An idiosyncratic cast of characters populate The Lisa Theory, a low-budget feature film about the dangers of dating women named Lisa. Filmmaker Steven Okazaki follows the rocky romantic trail of three young punks--Devon, Adam and Jimbo.

Devon (Devon Morf) loves Lisa (Honey O. Yates), but doesn’t realize that a good relationship is hard work. Instead, he escapes everyday to band practice. One morning, Lisa wakes up, jumps on a bus and disappears.

Dumped and devastated, Devon vows to stay in bed until Lisa returns. Three months pass and he's still in bed. The once plucky musician is now a mono-syllabic zombie. In addition, his band has fallen apart and his roomates want to kill him. Finally, Devon's two buddies, Adam (Avel Sosa II) and Jimbo (Jim Matison), devise a plot to get the lovesick Devon out of the sack and back among the living!

The film features music from San Francisco-based bands All You Can Eat, Ovarian Trolley, Clockbrains, Her Majesty the Baby, Wade, Unrest and Less Is More.
