Frank Marder lost control.
First of his car, then of his body. Now he's stuck -- trapped inside a body that's failed him. He can't move his legs. He
can't move his arms. As a "head," it seems all Frank can do is think.
Unfortunately, thinking is the last thing a guy who killed two people wants to do.
HEAD CASE follows the post-rehab life of a quadriplegic in his first weeks home after a devastating drunk driving
accident resulting in the death of his girlfriend and of a man he'd never met. Frank not only has to deal with the fact that
he'll never walk or feed himself again, but that the whole town hates him and thinks he should be in jail.
Little do they know, he already is.
A scary, thought-provoking glimpse at life without control.
