"What if you were highly intelligent, but remained trapped within a disorder that made others see you as inarticulate, odd or disabled? This film explores the line between ability and disability by following four Australian adults who are autistic. James, Jeanette, Akash and Wendy tell us about their individual struggles to fit into a world they're not made for. Their stories include moving perspectives from their parents, siblings and children, and sobering revelations about how vulnerable they are. Filmed over three years, this is a gentle, candid and perceptive window into the world of autism."

The title of the film refers to the circuit of lampposts that Drezner’s son likes to visit in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, N.Y.
