Plot.
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. He finds there are certain instances where he doesn't cope well, however no
less so than some others who have never been institutionalized, such as his
Philadelphia Eagles obsessed father who has resorted to being a bookie to earn a
living, his best friend Ronnie who quietly seethes over the control wielded by his
wife Veronica, and Veronica's widowed sister, Tiffany Maxwell, a girl with problems
of her own. In their fragile mental states, Pat Jr. and Tiffany embark on a love
hate friendship based primarily on what help the other can provide in achieving
their individual goals. But they may re-evaluate their goals as their relationship
progresses.
