Manic (2001)

Follows the fate of Lyle, a violent adolescent who, in lieu of prison, is placed in a juvenile mental institution where he encounters a group of equally troubled teens. This motley crew – abused, sexually confused, violent, and yet hanging on by their grit and anger – becomes Lyle’s last lifeline as he fights to find meaning in a world that seems to defy understanding.
