Joey Pigza Loses Control

When Joey Pigza meets his dad, Carter, for the first time in years, he meets a grownup version of his old hyperactive self - the way he was before his stint in special ed, the way he was before he got his new meds. During their summer visit together, Carter is eager to make up to his son for past wrongs. He wants to teach Joey how to be a winner. He wants to show Joey how to take control of his own life. And Joey is willing to do whatever his dad says, even though he fears it will do him more harm than good.
