"The Life and Times of Peeps McAvoy" about a man growing up on the north side of Chicago. Ride along with Peeps on the Broadway bus, as he paints a vivid picture of the neighborhood and its various characters. Peeps is an Everyman, trying to navigate the ups and downs of life and looking for a little happiness along the way.
It follows him through childhood into adulthood and his eventual death. It speaks to the universal truth that no one is perfect, and that we all are driven by the need for love and acceptance. If love can be found, then maybe the ride will have been worth it.
