Quick Bright Things

Can a weekend trip to visit family ever be smooth?

Nick was hoping for a quick dinner at his brother'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. Unsure of how to act, Nick's brother, sister-in-law, and nephew cause a flurry of disorienting energy, but also convince Gerome to stay the night, even after they find him 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 him to a dangerous breaking point.
