When Norman Chase opened a treatment center for troubled teens and started billing insurance companies for pills and talk, he was convinced he'd found the perfect business. For fifteen years his little hospital had been spitting out cash like a giant ATM, transforming Norman from a down-on-his-luck drug salesman in an aging Chevy to a multimillionaire CEO in a Ferrari. There were only two small problems: his patients and his staff.

Welcome to the Loony Bin, where everyone is yearning to escape, and three young patients are putting the finishing touches on a plot to relieve Norman of some of his wealth. With the click of a camera shutter they set their plan in motion, with hilariously unpredictable results.

Set in Richmond and Williamsburg, Virginia, and Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, The Loony Bin Blues is the story of a crime-gone-wrong that turns out to be just the therapy its young perpetrators and their victim need.
