Joey Pigza is a restless person. He is unable to focus, adhere to regulations, and control himself—particularly when his medications aren't functioning. Since birth, Joey has had difficulties, much like his father and grandmother. And Joey's issues are just growing, whether it's destroying his home key or causing chaos on a field trip. His conduct has become so bad that his instructors are threatening to transfer him to the downtown special education facility.
Joey is aware of his goodness, but he finds that no matter how hard he tries to act morally, something always seems to go wrong. Will he ever make a mistake?
