His story spans the ten months that lead up the Mental Health worker's "psychotic" break, the one and a half years he remained firmly rooted in a "delusional" state, and the story of his recovery. Revealing the realities of an urban section 8 housing complex, a rural state hospital, and the innards of "Schizophrenia," Clyde believes that the mob is following him and the only job that he can find is working at an suburban Italian Delicatessen. It takes him a year but he learns to make peace with the forces following him around.
