Differently-ABLED

Malcolm is loving small town life in beautiful Honokaa, Hawaii. And why not? Everyone in Honokaa loves him. After all, he's going to be a famous comedian, Honokaa's sweetheart. Then, in an instant, everything changes. His life is turned upside down by a deadly and mysterious virus, Reye's Syndrome. The metamorphosis is horrendous. He's an instant outcast. What's more, doctor's say he's permanently disabled. Now what? Can he still achieve his dreams? Will the stigma of his DISability consume him?
