Zack McDermott, a twenty-six-year-old Brooklyn public defender, woke up one morning convinced he was being filmed, Truman Show-style, as part of an audition for a television pilot. After a manic spree around Manhattan, Zack, who is bipolar, was arrested on a subway platform and admitted to Bellevue Hospital. This memoir tells the story of Zack's freefall into psychosis and his struggle to recover his sanity, regain his identity, and rebuild some semblance of a stable life.
