    [synopsis] => The Bowels of Madness is a Hunter S. Thompson-inspired health scare industry tale. What does a news reporter do when he suddenly finds himself believing that he is embroiled in a murder-for-hire plot that claimed the life of a fellow employee of the TV/radio station where he works? KMPH-Fresno reporter and anchor Steve Diddy feels that his options are limited for survival because of what he has seen, and antidepressants have been ravaging his mind throughout the summer of 1996. He also believes his life is a reality TV show and is spinning further into a psychological abyss. A false murder confession thrusts his life into a new world of antipsychotic medications, jail confinement, and psychiatric facilities. For the next 26 twenty-six years, Diddy battles numerous psychiatrists, conservators, and his own family and friends. Can his mind survive this test of wills and stamina?
