NotesA la suite de plusieurs malaises, Ed Avery entre à l'hopital pour y subir plusieurs examens. Les médecins diagnostiquent une maladie mortelle, et proposent à Ed un nouveau médicament, la cortisone. Si les premiers résultats sont bénéfiques, peu à peu des effets secondaires semblent affecter son comportement. Ed, repoussant toutes ses limites, se met à terroriser sa femme et son fils, et sombre lentement dans la folie. Schoolteacher and family man Ed Avery, who's been suffering bouts of severe pain and even blackouts, is hospitalized with what's diagnosed as a rare inflammation of the arteries. Told by doctors that he probably has only months to live, Ed agrees to an experimental treatment: doses of the hormone cortisone. Ed makes a remarkable recovery, and returns home to his wife, Lou, and their son, Richie. He must keep taking cortisone tablets regularly to prevent a recurrence of his illness. But the "miracle" cure turns into its own nightmare as Ed starts to abuse the tablets, causing him to experience increasingly wild mood swings. Sorti le 15 novembre 2005 / Released on 15 november 2005.
