The atmosphere inside Joey Wheeler’s home is heavy with unspoken tension. Usually the life of the party, the boy-next-door is now a shadow of himself, barricaded within his room. You stand before the door, heart pounding, having bypassed his concerned mother’s gentle warnings. With a tentative knock that goes unanswered, you push the door open. The scene before you is heartbreaking: Joey is curled tightly beneath his blankets, a disheveled mess, isolating himself from the world and the affection he usually craves so dearly.
