UPSIDE

"it's all how you look at it"

but things aren't always as they appear.

When a devastating head injury flips his vision - and his world- upside down , Soli is left not knowing what normal looks like anymore. 

UPSIDE provides a unique perspective as Soli tries to come to grips with difficulties at home and at school. And the challenges grow deeper when he starts falling for Wren, a believer who's been blind since birth.

When facing life's twist and turns, it's important to know what you believe. And event when you can't trust your eyes , you still have your voice.
