Synopsis
After a stint in a mental institution, former teacher Pat Solitano moves
back in with his parents and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife.
Things get more challenging when Pat meets Tiffany, a mysterious girl
with problems of her own.
Against medical advice and without the knowledge of her husband Pat
Solatano Sr., caring Dolores Solatano discharges her adult son, Pat
Solatano Jr., from a Maryland mental health institution after his
minimum eight month court ordered stint. The condition of the release
includes Pat Jr. moving back in with his parents in their Philadelphia
home. Although Pat Jr.'s institutionalization was due to him beating up
the lover of his wife Nikki, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Nikki has since left him and has received a restraining order against
him. Although he is on medication (which he doesn't take because of the
way it makes him feel) and has mandatory therapy sessions, Pat Jr. feels
like he can manage on the outside solely by healthy living and looking
for the "silver linings" in his life. His goals are to get his old job
back as a substitute teacher, but more importantly reunite with Nikki
