Based on an inspirational true story, I Swear charts the remarkable journey of a Scottish man whose life was irrevocably changed by the sudden onset of Tourette's syndrome. A bright, funny, football-mad lad with everything ahead of him, 15-year-old John Davidson’s life seemingly splinters in 1983 when he develops uncontrollable vocal and physical tics at a time when Tourette’s was barely understood, even by doctors. Feeling ostracized by the world around him — including his own family — he retreats into years of relative isolation, burdened by the anxiety, shame, and loneliness that can often accompany the neurological condition.
