Craig, a 16-year-old high school junior, struggles with depression and anxiety, leading him to contemplate suicide. He checks himself into a psychiatric hospital seeking immediate help. However, due to renovations in the youth wing, Craig is placed in the adult ward, where he encounters a diverse group of patients. Among them is Bobby, a disheveled man who becomes a mentor figure, and Noelle, a girl his age grappling with her own psychological issues. Through his interactions with the patients and the supportive hospital staff, Craig begins to confront his inner demons and find a new sense of clarity.

As Craig navigates his five-day stay, he starts to understand the pressures that have been weighing him down, such as his parents' expectations, academic stress, and unrequited feelings for his best friend's girlfriend. His bond with Bobby deepens, and he becomes increasingly intrigued by Noelle, who opens his eyes to different perspectives on life and relationships. Craig's journey of self-discovery becomes one where he learns the importance of accepting help, cherishing connections, and embracing his personal struggles as part of his growth.
