This is a fictional story based on the true story of an otherwise "normal" family dealing with the obsessive, driven world of a paranoid schizophrenic young man. The action with this child starts when he is still in diapers and continues into adulthood. He walks the town dressed like a baby wearing a diaper, sucking on a pacifier one day, then the next becomes truly paranoid tying to contact aliens with a home radio "rigged" to a trash can and a fishing pole on the rooftop of his family home. Neighbors glare at the family as they manage their way through his escapades. The imagination of this man takes him into a world where there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow, and lucky things happen to people who love green. This wild family trip through life leaves most wondering how they ever survived. The parents and siblings are tormented, terrified and embarrassed on a regular basis, but somehow learn to cope in the end with the humor in telling their life tales.
