This powerful documentary follows the heart-wrenching story of Tony and Christine Clark and their two sons, Matthew (39) and Michael (42), who have been struggling with a life-altering neurological condition for four decades. Unbeknownst to them, this strange illness has slowly robbed them of their independence and left them in need of constant care.
