CRAIGmanning
Living with his stepfather Joey since his abusive dad died, Craig wrestles with a lot of personal pain and confusion, not to mention bipolar disorder. He copes the only way he knows how – through his music, the all-consuming passion of his life – and his meds. When his longtime girlfriend doesn’t return after a summer in London, Craig swears off girls. That is, until his passion for Manny returns.
