What is genius... and to what extent does it define the lives of those who have it--or don't?
Twenty-year-old Shane Fetters doesn't just live on the edge. He hangs precariously in the chasm where he's certain there ought to be some middle ground, struggling to assert himself as a middle person--not quite male or female, neither pure genius nor utter incompetent, and mostly adult but with a heavy influence of inner child. That's what he is, what he's sure he's supposed to be--but what he is, isn't what the people who claim to love him want.
His new wife wants him to be more of a man while his grandparents cling to longstanding expectations for the boy he never could be for them. His best friend wants him to be a rock drummer and his boss wants him to revitalize a failing high school math program.
Convinced his own situation is beyond hope, he draws his sense of worth by helping other people fix their problems. He hits the jackpot when he meets bar band Random Chaos, four people in one failing marriage. There's an obsessive-compulsive control freak, a passive-aggressive former beauty queen, a narcissistic shopping addict, and a surly alcoholic.
If he can only fix them, maybe he can find a way to save himself.
