Ten-year-old Chris Marino (Devon Gearhart), just wants to be normal but his mother's (Marcia Gay Harden) bouts of paranoia and delusion give new meaning to the term dysfunctional family. Dad, John, (Joe Pantoliano) breaks his back as a construction worker struggling to pay for Mary's doctor bills, and find the right medicine to treat her schizophrenia, leaving little time or energy to give to his son. When Mary's behavior takes a dangerous turn, father and son watch helplessly as the police drag Mary out of the house to hospitalize her in a mental institution.
