Plot summary
Craig is a gifted high school junior under stress from his competitive school, his summer program applications and his father's pressure to succeed. He feels inferior beside his best friend Aaron and is infatuated with Nia, Aaron's girlfriend. When he tells a doctor at a local hospital that he needs immediate help, he is admitted for five days to the adult psychiatric floor, because the floor for adolescents is closed. A patient named Bobby shows him around, and Craig meets Noelle, a young patient admitted for self-harm. Craig draws, attends therapy and group discussions, and does not want his friends to learn where he is.
