Hurley Bendric is among one of approximately 3.2 million Americans diagnosed with schizophrenia, and one out of 72 patients who reside in ward PICU at Nevada State Hospital. Tucked away and out of sight in the rural mountains known as Winterpark District, the historic alms house converted to state hospital is on its last legs. Between overcrowding, septic backups and expired medication, it seems the patients are in their own personal hell. Yet things about to get much worse.
When a chemical research group reaches out in hope of making an industrial deal, an unlucky few will become test subjects in exchange for financial compensation which the hospital desperately needs.

"My name is Jace Overton, and I have schizophrenia." Mr. Stevenson stood from his desk, his eyes widening and surprise slapping him in the face as if he'd just discovered vibranium. "Wow, so you're a schizophrenic?" My mom told me there were three kinds of people in the world: people that didn't care, people that cared enough, and people that cared too much. He was definitely the third type of person. "No, I have schizophrenia. I am not a schizophrenic." "Is there a difference?" I stared at him blankly, "I wouldn't have corrected you if there wasn't." ----- Jace is weird. Jace has a blunted affect, a knack for memorizing, and a strong attraction to a Pakistani girl named Elizabeth. He also has a distant father, an overbearing psychiatrist and two best friends that get him into situations (some of which end with his nose [and heart] being broken). He has a sister that's ten years his senior, daily medication, serious hatred for the color white and a mere four years to accomplish the following things: 1) Make his parents fall in love with each other again. 2) Make Elizabeth fall in love with him. 3) Get people to understand that he has schizophrenia, he is not a schizophrenic. The former is attached to an identity while the latter is a label. A CampNaNoWriMo NovelComplete
