Heavy: a tale of Rock n Roll redemption (SAMPLE)

Fifty year old Graphic Designer Scott Templeman lives and breathes rock music. His schoolteacher wife encourages him, as long as he's not sonically bombarding their Atlanta neighbors. A former garage band drummer, he's got a massive digital library with millions of obscure audio files and a soundproof jam room that takes up half his print shop.

On social media, he learns of a benefit concert to raise money for an ailing guitar hero back in New Jersey, reuniting old friends who share a rocky history of friendship, hard partying, and dreams of stardom.

His estranged buddies cannot locate their original drummer, who has fallen off the radar and become homeless after a series of tragic personal setbacks. So, former roadie Scott is enlisted to fill in during the band's headlining gig at the charity event.

Flying back to his childhood home, he is torn between finding his rock and roll role model, or replacing him to fulfill a personal ambition kept hidden during his underage roadie days in the Eighties. He searches his old haunts for the musical mentor who once believed in him, encountering ghosts of his own troubled past as he seeks to help his fellow drummer retake the stage after thirty years.
