Summary: Abandoned by his mother, Augusten is left to spend his teenage years as part of a psychiatrist's outlandish family. Augusten struggles to find himself while surrounded by a series of tormented and over-analyzed individuals.

As a child, Augusten (Joseph Cross) completely adores his narcissistic mother Deirdre (Bening). Her biggest fan, he encourages her goal of becoming a published poet when no one else will. But while these dreams of grandeur seem innocent through Augusten’s young eyes, they grow more delusional with time, slowly wearing on the family and contributing to its demise. While a teenage Augusten skips school and his father Norman (Alec Baldwin) uses alcohol to escape, Deirdre calls in an eccentric psychiatrist for an outside opinion. Dr. Finch’s advice ends up being anything but professional, however, as his looseness with prescriptions and wacko theories end Deirdre’s dysfunctional marriage and prompt her to abandon Augusten. Left to spend his teenage years as part of Dr. Finch’s outlandish family, Augusten struggles to find himself while surrounded by a series of tormented and over-analyzed individuals.
