Still Lifeless

Accustomed to isolation, reckless teenager Cade Caybul copes with misery through self-destruction. But when tragedy strikes, he must adapt to being in a new house with the Heltons, a family of five who have problems of their own and a drunken teenager isn't helping anything. Living amid new standards of life while navigating a haze of daily drinking, hallucinogens, and bewildering nightmares has increased Cade's chances for failure and turmoil. Maintaining control of his destiny beside personal demons and trying to flourish in a conventional society is harder than it seems. 



Set in Buffalo, New York, darkly comical Still Lifeless encompasses juvenescent aimlessness, addiction, relationships, police corruption, racism, sexual abuse, malevolent spirits, and waking each day wondering who you are.
