In any given year, one in five Canadians will experience symptoms of mental disorder. So why do we still have such a long way to go towards true understanding and acceptance? Because people are afraid to talk. Beyond Crazy takes us beyond the barriers of fear and stigma to meet real Canadians from all walks of life who have encountered mental illness. They tell stories of what it is like to journey to the edge of the abyss and back again, of what it is like to suffer deep psychosis or depression, a misdiagnosis, a life-threatening eating disorder, the suicide of a loved one. And they tell stories of hope recovered, of finding the road back to wellness, of families made stronger than ever. Using the most honest and compelling language – and often a good dose of humour – brave celebrities and unsung heroes tell it like it is. By doing so, they make it easier for those who follow, easier to get past the fear, to move beyond crazy.

Being in a band is Stelle’s salvation. It is her escape from the chaotic clutter at home and her mother’s depression. Even though she is able to lose herself for a few hours, pounding away on the drums in the basement of her dad’s new house, as soon as she leaves, it’s as if the world is going crazy all around her: one bandmate’s parents refuse to acknowledge their son is gay; her band’s only potential lead singer dresses like a vampire; and even her best friend, Lu, with the “perfect family,” has been on edge lately. But it’s the strange, confused conversations that Stelle has with her grandmother in the nursing home that hold the key to unlocking the unhappiness at the heart of her family.

From rags to riches, our perceptual journey can take us many places. This is a tale of how a man got lost in himself. Only to find himself over and over again. Until he breached the boundaries of what a human really is.

Love Elimination might be a hit new reality dating show, but Anna Hobbs isn't in it for love. Anna is a reluctant fill–in coerced onto the show by her sister, a producer. She dreams of owning her own dessert café; a dream that has taken years of hard work and strict saving. She knows reality TV is a big, manipulated lie – and gorgeous leading man Luke Westwood can't possibly be for real. Can he? Olympian snowboarder Luke Westwood thought he had retired from competition. Now he's starring in the cutthroat world of Love Elimination, with twelve beautiful women vying for his attention against the backdrop of a tropical paradise. With cameras in every corner, why is it only Anna – careful Anna with her bills and budgets – who Luke feels he can be himself with, at long last? All Anna wants is a quick elimination, but with each date she is more reluctant to relinquish Luke to the conniving contestants – or even to the women who are starting to become friends. It doesn't help when Luke insists on using the limitless television budget to indulge her heart's desires. Or that the moments they've stolen, alone and away from the cameras, have sizzled with passion. As the dates wear on the evictions become more brutal and the contestants' secrets are exposed. Will the pressure get too much? Or will love close in on Luke and Anna?
