  The Theory of Everything
By Kari Luna

Sophie Sophia is obsessed with the late eighties. She also has coffee with Dorothy Parker, dances with the Ramones in the cafeteria, and chats with Robert Motherwell inside of one of his very own paintings. She sees things no one else sees. Does things you can hardly imagine. And even though it sounds like the most exciting, must-have kind of life, all she wants is what every other 14-year old girl wants: to fit in.

Thanks to her mentally ill, physicist father who left when she was eight, her mother who prefers relocating to dealing with it all, and her increasingly frequent hallucinations, Sophie’s life has been anything but normal. That is, until she moves to Havencrest.

In this typical suburb, twenty miles north of Chicago, Sophie decides to get rid of her visions, once and for all. It’s here she meets a scientific boy genius who wants to cure her, a Kerouac-loving bookworm who wants to save her, a giant shaman panda who guides her and a neighbor who makes amazing banana bread – and knows a lot more about life than she does. Armed with her trusty Walkman, Sophie travels back to where it all began – New York City. As she discovers more about her hallucinations, string theory, and a father who could be the key to it all, she also learns to let go – and love a life less ordinary.

Soundtrack features 1987 favorites like The Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, New Order and more.
