A newly homeless man adapts to life on the streets and struggles with whether to sober up and get his life back on track or give up and go full-bore hobo.

SYNOPSIS:

Sitting on rock bottom and stink-eyeing an existential crossroad, our story’s

barroom hero is a forty-nothing real life zero who’s fallen off the wagon once again,

resulting in eviction, which forces him to move discreetly into his employer’s van,

where he struggles to adapt to life on the street, keeping the shameful living

arrangement secret from his bosses, family and friends. He's been a raging alcoholic

for the last quarter century… but it only got bad the last twenty-five years. He

doesn't want help and he can't stop, and now that he's finally hit another bottom by

moving outdoors all he has to do is wait for that inevitable knock from below for

more manure. But will he hear it? Or has he finally dug into life’s dung deep enough

this time that there's nowhere to go but up? Unfortunately, this is no work of fiction.

BUM is a true memoir of the life of a once lucky-lot alcoholic navigating the peril and

bottles of semi-sobriety.
