Riding the roller coaster of mental illness, Cage's adopted mother and her partner do their best to prepare him for the emotional journey of being different in a small religious town. Cage meets a self-proclaimed man of God who tells him about a beautiful paradise. The man promises to help Cage fulfill his simple dream: to feel the excitement of an amusement park. But reaching paradise land isn't precisely escaping evil. Cage In Box Elder has a vertical start, highs, and lows that go round and round in cycles, then build to a final primal scream. The story thrives on dysfunctional people, places, events, and a life of drama, with individuals unable to help themselves. Extreme highs and lows are at the core of this emotional roller coaster.
