Jeff believes that, despite his disability, Spencer is capable of living a much more active and fulfilling life. Jeff wants to put his theories to the test. Over an intense three-week period he plans to push his brother to make some real changes in his life, but will Jeff's tough love prove too much for their already fragile relationship?
