Film Synopsis:
Vincent, a young man with Tourette’s syndrome, faces drastic changes after his mother dies. Because his politician father is too ashamed of the disorder to have Vincent accompany him on the campaign, Vincent is shuttled off to an unconventional clinic. There he finds unexpected community with an obsessive-compulsive roommate and an anorexic young woman, and romance eventually–and uneasily–follows. The film stars Dev Patel, Robert Sheehan, Zoe Kravitz, Kyra Sedgwick, and Robert Patrick.
