Everyone hears voices. I'm treated like I'm broken for admitting it.Can a weekend trip to visit family ever be smooth? Nick was hoping for a quick dinner at his brother Reid's house when he stopped by with his seventeen-year-old adopted son, Gerome, on their way to meet Gerome's birth mother. Gerome was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia, and he wants to know more about his family history. Though Reid and his family wreak havoc with their well-meaning but misguided ideas about Gerome's diagnosis, they manage to convince Nick and his son to stay the night, even after they find Gerome on the roof ready to demonstrate backflips. The dinner pit stop becomes a tense weekend-long event full of claims and questions as the family attempts to un-crazy Gerome, leading them all to a dangerous breaking point.With truth, humour, and pathos, Quick Bright Things explores a family's struggle with understanding mental health, their ways of expressing love, and what it ultimately means to be okay.
