The liver is a vital organ of vertebrates and some other animals. In the human it is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, below the diaphragm. The liver has a wide range of functions, including detoxification of various metabolites, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion.
The liver is a gland and plays a major role in metabolism with numerous functions in the human body, including regulation of glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, hormone production, and detoxification. It is an accessory digestive gland and produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion via the emulsification of lipids. The gallbladder, a small pouch that sits just under the liver, stores bile produced by the liver. The liver's highly specialized tissue consisting of mostly hepatocytes regulates a wide variety of high-volume biochemical reactions, including the synthesis and breakdown of small and complex molecules, many of which are necessary for normal vital functions. Estimates regarding the organ's total number of functions vary, but textbooks generally cite it being around 500.

Plot: Reed Kirkham, ace schlock film producer, is a man moments away from re-establishing his artistic ideals. When Reed decides to return to his creative roots, his overactive talking liver, (the "gut feeling" that has led him to success for the past two decades) pays an unexpected visit. The angry liver exits his body, determined to force Reed into production on yet another grade-Z film, and it won't take "no" for an answer. Now Reed must make the ultimate decision-either buckle to the forces of his own body; or risk it all to return to the artist he longs to be.
