The voices in Jake's head continue to plague him, making it difficult to sleep at night. The only answer is to roam about the house and gardens trying to ignore the requests to jump off the roof or stand naked in the garden. In his moments of clarity Jake knows they are just voices and he must be strong enough to ignore them.

Jake's mum Bette knows her son should be hospitalised for his condition. She now knows schizophrenia is common, nothing to be ashamed of, but Bette can't stand the thought of her son being left in an institution.  The only solution is to keep him at home and try and regulate his medication. Jake is now 20 and well past the age where his mother can safely restrain him when he has one of his episodes. The family live in fear that one day he will no longer be able to ignore the voices, and mark the end of his young and tragic life.

Bette has two other children who struggle to cope with the pressure of Jake's condition.  It is now their condition, as no one manages to get any sleep as he wanders the house at night. This behaviour makes it impossible for his sisters to go to school the following day. The girls are young, bright and show great academic promise. This promise would never be realised without the provision of a studio. Jake now wanders around the studio without disturbing the family or the neighbours. It has allowed him space and privacy to face is demons in the darkest hours.

There is no miracle cure for Jake's condition. No matter what the outcome, Bette will always be there to support him and keep him safe- as any mother would.
