Robbie a sixteen year old suffered his entire life with Tourette's Syndrome, Tourette's is a condition that causes individuals to have uncontrollable ticks, due to misfiring within the brain. Robbie's ticks could last up to two hours. His ticks would consist of bursting out words, twisting his body and hitting himself.  Robbie gets miracle experimental surgery where they implant two pacemakers in his abdomen, which stops the abnormal  misfiring of over active nerve cells to the brain. Two weeks after the surgery Robbie feels normal and can be an average 16  year old and be around his friends, due to no more ticks.
