Distel and Lori Robinson Distel Presented in support of The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada Brilliant but solitary, Dr. Silas Merryweather has never been very good at making ‘friends.’ But when the accomplished professor is struck down with a Glioblastoma Brain Tumour in the prime of his life, his wife Harriet decides it’s high time he do some long-awaited soul-searching. After signing the reclusive author up for ‘Homies for Hospice,’ Frankie-Jean Wallis reluctantly enters their world. At only fourteen, Frankie is twice as cynical as Silas, and arrives with her own deep-seated baggage as well as a frank outlook on life and death that intrigues the ailing man.

Head in the Game is a witty and emotional tale about the beauty of companionship in times of trouble.
