Donnie Darko is a paranoid schizophrenic, anti-social teenager who is in therapy and using medication. He has visions of a giant Fuzzy Bunny named Frank who instructs him to commit violent acts. Donnie is the only one who can see him. He gets along badly with his family, with his teachers and with his classmates. Eventually, he does manage to find a sympathetic friend in Gretchen, who agrees to date him. He has a compassionate psychiatrist who discovers hypnosis is the means to unlock hidden secrets. When an engine falls off a plane and destroys his room, thanks to Frank, Donnie is not there. Both the event, and Donnie's escape, seem to have been caused by supernatural events. With Donnie's mental illness, he may never allow him to find out for sure
