Imagine living in this brutal society without the physical & mental capabilities needed to navigate it.
For instance, have you ever considered what it’s like to live without the ability to speak?
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have a mind that doesn’t behave?
The adolescent Blayz Scheiner lacks wisdom in worldly matters. Most folks in his English town describe him a simpleton. A fairer way to describe him would be unsophisticated.
Blayz has a rare neurological condition that only one in twenty thousand are affected by. It causes significant learning disabilities, delayed development, and, consequently, Blayz has little or no speech.

Blayz the Bryte Scheiner
It takes very little to impress Blayz. Sometimes, he can be very foolish. That’s because he’s authentic. It’s why certain people label him a noodlehead.
In this family-based comedy, the focus is on Blayz, an endearing boy with a hidden side. He’s the boy next door who never grew up. Observe how Blayz strengthens his defences in a perpetually unfamiliar world. Explore the secrets behind Blayz’s inner workings. Watch as he never allows himself to be subdued or suppressed: he’s constantly enthusiastic. But will his spiritual brightness diminish?
To understand Blayz’s daily challenges, we must through them together. In the story, we learn to recognise the lurking adversaries who will try to deprive Blayz of his purity.
In a world of darkness and animosity, will Blayz’s brilliance endure? Or will the saintly youth be brought down by those who refuse to recognise his distinctive qualities?
He listens to every word [but] no, he can’t understand. He only speaks minglish…
For example, how trustworthy is his best friend, Stella? Is she a temptress? A villain? Or simply misunderstood?
What is the reason for Aunt Lena’s deep aversion to him?
If the Community Centre closes, who will foster his eager mind? If Blayz’s dad is unable to continue, who will step in to manage their mobile disco?
Why do the police get involved in the situation?
Will the authorities make Blayz go into care? Will his soul-light prevail over all the petty hatefulness of this world?
