The Heavy Duty Adventures

This is a young man's true story with three basic dimensions. It tells of his adventures with "THE FAMILY" in Newport Beach, California, after leaving a Ph.D. program; his role in the fifties' culture in Southern California; and his problems with alcohol, the solution he sought and his new direction that touches on the inspirational.

Take a trip back to the days of crazy jalopies and the birth of rock and roll, as 32-year-old Mike Burns, also known as Heavy Duty, tries to beat the demons of alcohol.
