A Long Slow Aftermath

By: Matucha, Jeffrey Vernon

Fresh out of a drug rehab, Preston tries to rebuild his life with old friends and new acquaintances. Stuck between the world of gentrifiers and working class holdovers in the ever changing haves and have-nots landscape in Oakland, California, he struggles with his newfound sobriety as he confronts his chaotic past, his newfound present, and an uncertain future. Walking a not-his-dog pit bull Joey, chance encounters with tall and exotic illustrated women in the dead of night, and spontaneously joining a new wave retro band are just part of his encounters with real life, facing a new, naked reality without the gauze of drugs and alcohol to shield him.
