Documentary following three families each coping with a child affected by serious emotional or mental illness. The families explore treatment opportunities and grapple with the struggle of living with their child's condition.

Moving beyond clinical observations, this documentary captures the raw, domestic exhaustion of parents navigating the fractured reality of severe mental illness. It trades detached medical analysis for the intimate, often heartbreaking rituals of families trying to find a foothold in chaos.
