Twenty-seven-year-old Tim Halladay is a rising star in the
three-martini lunch world of Madison Avenue in the early 1970s. In
only five years, Tim has become a vice-president at the first ad
agency he interviewed with, in charge of some of the most
prestigious accounts listed in Advertising Age.
But a week before Thanksgiving, his life takes a serious hit.
After a hard-drinking, sex-filled night, Tim, the "golden boy,"
arrives late to work. He suddenly finds himself fired without
explanation. With three hundred dollars in his savings account, Tim
wonders how he'll even pay the rent.
As Tim comes to terms with his unemployment, he reminisces
about his life and the circumstances that have brought him to this
crucial crossroads. Everything in his life-his emotionally unstable
upbringing, his service in the army during the troubled years of
the Vietnam War, his affair with a high school girlfriend, his
experiences at William and Mary during the JFK and LBJ years, his
relocation to Manhattan in the 1970s, his first job in the world of
advertising, and his adventures as a closeted gay man in the
Stonewall Era Greenwich Village-contributed to both the downfall
and redemption of Tim Halladay.
