Crazy Sunshine: The Mess We Made

17-year-old Lennon struggles with her mental health amid the instability of a fractured family — a single mother trying to hold things together and a father whose battles with addiction ripple through their lives. As those around her grapple with its impact — both those living with addiction and the families caught in its wake — Lennon finds herself caught between chaos and resilience, forced to confront the truth about where she comes from and the fragile stability of her own mental health as she begins to fight for a future that might look different from the past she inherited.
