Lithium & Let’s Plays

Tess wants nothing more than to return to college, but after her first manic episode, with psychosis, she must take a medical leave from school to recover and understand her bipolar diagnosis. When everything feels outside of her control, she finds solace in a popular competitive video game.

Online, she meets Cade, and they begin to find success competing together for money. Tess loves having a teammate who doesn’t know about all her baggage. Over time, their chemistry starts to reach a new level. After qualifying for an in-person tournament, Tess realizes that it may be impossible to keep these two parts of her life separate, and Cade might not be everything she made him out to be.
