Title: Brain fever
Description: Timothy Rooney, an aging boy wonder of the South Carolina lowlands, is off his medication and slowly going crazy. But as long as he's headed for insanity, he might as well head for New York City. His mission: to find Bernadette, his ex-wife from a six-day marriage, and to spend the fifteen thousand dollars crammed into his shoes.
