Cage's Bend

Plot

"The ensuing years will be an extraordinary test of strength, courage, faith, and will as each member of the family tries to cope in the face of unspeakable sadness. Cage, racked with guilt and grief, goes into a tailspin that ultimately leads to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. He careens from dazzling mania to delusional depression, and from grim institutions to promising comebacks. An early success on Wall Street, Harper grudgingly sticks by his brother, at the same time losing himself in vodka, cocaine, and the thrill of the chase. Their father, Franklin, now a bishop, agonizes over his ability to console others while unable to save his own sons. Their mother, Margaret, ever tenacious, refuses to retreat into the past, focusing instead on how to heal her fractured family.".
