High schooler Caden Bosch is in the hospital. Caden doesn’t understand why the nurses and doctors make him sit through group therapy and ask him questions both obvious and profound. However, his concerned parents think that there is something off with him. Once outgoing and cheerful, Caden now makes strange decisions, distances himself from people, and makes cryptic comments.
