![]() ![]() The members of a well-drawn, if spare, cast play supporting roles-Marjani, Daniel’s overworked caregiver Travis, his lifelong best friend, who's “like a stoner Ichabod Crane” Jennifer, the grad student who is “suddenly the matriarch of this weird little family”-but the story belongs to Daniel.

He can still move his left hand, which he uses to operate his wheelchair and type on an iPad that interfaces with his voice speaker and allows him to work on social media for a commuter airline. Unlike most of them, however, Daniel has spinal muscular atrophy, a progressive genetic disorder that attacks the body from the core out. Like most residents of Athens, Georgia, 26-year-old Daniel looks forward to the escape of Game Week, when the University of Georgia plays football at home. The lone witness to an abduction tries to get skeptical police-and a skeptical society-to see past his wheelchair. ![]()
