Cassie Ryder is middle-aged - married - and slowly losing her marbles as she struggles to cope with the chaos around her. Two elderly, confused parents - several insane neighbours and a demanding job, eventually drive her over the edge and into therapy sessions at the local Mental Health Unit - or Crumple Clinic as she calls it. Cassie refuses prescribed medication and tries alternative therapies - Leg Stretches With The Living Dead in the village hall to name just one. And all the while fighting the preconception that anyone with a mental health problem dribbles a lot and howls at the moon!
