After discovering that the mystery illness is chronic Lyme disease, Jimmy encounters yet another challenge: medical insurance policies pertaining to Lyme disease. He sees his son Evan responding to treatment but his insurance will no longer cover traditional medication. Jimmy is driven to measures no father should have to pursue in order to secure the medication his son needs.

This is the true story of one father's journey to help his son beat this horrible disease and a son's struggle to get his life back. Evans Gate profoundly asks the following question: how far will a loved one go to help another loved one?

A must see for anyone struggling with a chronic illness!

Thank you very much for doing this movie, hope everyone could see it to learn about the disease, to be aware of the danger out there in front of their houses, in their back yards, in the parks and beaches. If you or a beloved one has a tick attached get treatment before it is too late. Watch this movie, will save your life and will save you from lots of years of pain and suffering!!! In the name of all of us suffering Lyme Disease, Thank you for doing this movie!!!

Your movie certainly reflects the reality Lyme Disease patients suffer. Still the problem is deeper because Doctors deny it and the government doesn't want to acknowledge this is a growing pandemic very hard to treat. It is worse than malaria and HIV! It affects the brain, the heart, the lymphatic system, the muscles, the bones, all the organs are invaded by bacteria and parasites and if this is not enough there are no good lab tests to detect it nor medicines to CURE IT!

Some may think this is a movie situation but the reality is that this is common for people with Lyme Disease. Doctors charge from $475 to $975 per visit, the medicines are indeed as they well say here $2,500 per week or luckily per month, anyways we can't afford them... and the sudden denial from the insurances, incredible but real. The biggest problems are the denial of the insurances to treat properly and the dismissal of many Doctors who think LD doesn't exist!!!

There should be more movies like this to help educate the public about Lyme Disease. I don't see the young boy's name anywhere, he was good in this film, who is he?
