Daniel Zimmer will do almost anything to end his pain\u2014except for the one thing that might work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Growing up in 1970s Brooklyn under the shadow of his tyrannical father and against the backdrop of the Son of Sam murders, the Karen Ann Quinlan tragedy, and the New York Yankees’ back-to-back championship seasons, Daniel Zimmer struggles to find a sense of safety and belonging. Daniel and his brother Max find moments of solace in the rebellious rhythms of early punk and metal bands like the Ramones and Judas Priest. But when faced with an unexpected family tragedy\u2014for which he feels responsible\u2014Daniel discovers the magical escape that alcohol can provide, numbing his pain and guilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carrying the trauma of his youth into adulthood, Daniel falls deeper into alcoholism as he fights to face life on life\u2019s terms. Then, just as he finally begins to embrace sobriety, Max attempts suicide and Daniel\u2019s ex-fianc\u00e9e makes an unexpected reappearance. Forced to face his demons head-on, Daniel struggles to take things one day at a time.<\/p>\n

Flashing through Daniel\u2019s life, past and present, this nostalgic ode to Brooklyn is an unflinching account of the inevitable ups and downs of recovery and coming of age. Ultimately, it is a story of the ravages of generational abuse and the power of recognizing addiction and opening the door to the possibilities of redemption.\u00a0<\/p>\n
