Diana, Dan, Natalie, and Gabe all seem like one big happy bi-racial Hindu-Punjabi South Asian family living in the Chicago Suburbs. Dan works an office job. Diana is a stay at home mother. Gabe is the star athlete at his school. Natalie is a straight-A student and has a wonderful boyfriend, Henry. However, their world is anything but normal. Diana has been battling bipolar disorder for the past 16 years. Dan has spent these 16 years trying to take care of his wife, along with the help of–while simultaneously neglecting–their kids, Natalie and Gabe. Through faith, religion, medication, trips to the doctor, and family support, NEXT TO NORMAL explores how one family struggles with finding light in the darkness.
