Not a charming, cute, surprisingly insightful kind of insane. The kind of mental illness that rips apart Jonny's insides and turns otherwise good people into villains. It isn't Mark's fault. It's not like he asked to be sick. At the same time Mark's erratic behavior and his refusal to get help is destroying everything in his path, including Jonny.

Now Jonny must decide: does he stand by his man and hope loyalty and love are enough to make Mark realize the error of his ways? Or does he abandon Mark to his illness and save himself? Neither choice offers much hope of happiness. As their affair continues Jonny must confront the possibility that his love is not healing Mark, it may actually be making him worse.
