Crazy Enough

The animated opening credits show twin babies being left at the Philbrook Orphanage. One baby behaves so strangely that he is sent away to Fitzgerald Mental Health Facility, foreshadowing a split identity that will drive the story. The other baby remains at the orphanage, hinting at parallel fates to come.

In the present, Dr. Fred Mulberry is a successful psychiatrist living in his guest house due to a troubled marriage. His wife Lorna pushes for control while their kids—Rose and Freddie—navigate typical teen dynamics. The household mood is tense, setting up Fred's later predicament.

Lorna tries to launch a granola business and imposes an ever-expanding shopping list on Fred. He dutifully sets out to collect every item from the natural foods store, trying to keep peace at home. The friction between ambition and practicality colors domestic life.

Mr. Philbrook campaigns for governor and projects a wholesome, Christian-family image while privately surrounding himself with provocative staff. He pressures Fred to sign papers at Fitzgerald that would prevent Dolores from leaving on her 18th birthday. The conflict exposes the corruption beneath political respectability.

Ted, Fred’s brother, fantasizes about many different jobs and enjoys friendly ties with Dolores. He yearns to escape the place and explore a freer life beyond the facility. The fantasies blur with reality as the brothers' lives intersect.

A bizarre sequence forces Fred to change clothes in Fitzgerald's locker room. Ted notices Fred’s clothes and a driver’s license that resemble his own, raising the possibility of an escape. The ditzy receptionist goes along with the ruse, treating it as just another one of Ted's fantasies.

Nurse Nancy orders Fred to come out, and when he resists, she calls in the big orderlies John and Richard. The staff refuse to believe his story, chalking the entire situation up to another of Ted’s fantasies. Fred becomes a fugitive within Fitzgerald as the pursuit escalates.

Fred discovers he can't simply call someone to verify his identity because his smartphone only stores numbers, not contacts. This limitation lets the staff doubt him and prolongs the ruse. The chase and the strange new life continue as Fred fights to reclaim control.

Fred, riding on a GPS-enabled minivan with a soothing female voice, finds himself being driven wherever he wants to go. This includes the natural foods store where Colin works, giving Ted a chance to meddle and push Colin toward Rose while Rose prefers Dylan. The gadget makes escape practical but also exposes Fred’s compromised state.

The family senses something is seriously wrong with Fred, but they hesitate to question whether the person in front of them is truly him. His new, more magnetic persona wins their temporary trust, masking the underlying identity tension. The children and spouses move forward under a fragile, altered dynamic.

Fred becomes entangled with a quirky group inside Fitzgerald who plot an escape. Meanwhile, medical staff persist in disbelief about his story, forcing Fred to press on with limited support. Administrator Mr. Greene grows hostile toward anything that threatens Dolores' fate.

Fred has an opportunity to learn the truth about his boss thanks to Ted's multiple jobs and schemes. The discovery hints at why the twins ended up in their separate paths and what it means for their identities. Fred weighs whether reclaiming his real life is possible or desirable.

The story builds toward whether the brothers can restore their real identities and return to ordinary life. Ted questions whether he even needs to return to the outside world, given his current reality. Fred remains determined to break free and go back to life beyond Fitzgerald.
