   Summary

   In order to cure his writers block, Gerard returns to his childhood home to try to unlock what made his youth so special. However, he never intended to get himself wrapped up in his old feelings towards his childhood best friend Frank, the strange community in Belleville, or even his own unhealthy coping mechanisms.
