The film follows the path of a child called ADAM, told by his mother. It is a story of escape from institutionalisation, and the fight to get services and treatment for ADAM.

Medical experts explain the background to Autism, diagnosis and treatments now available which have been life changing. ADAM represents the general neglect given to children with this condition which is treatable.

The main medical expert featured in the film is Waterford Autism Specialist and advisor to the European Parliament Dr Caroline Ward-Goldsmith who has been in the field for over 15 years at the cutting edge of new treatments. Dr Goldsmith introduced Biomedical Intervention to Ireland in 2004 where the body chemistry of the child is adjusted to send correct signals to the brain.
