My Reluctant Friend

Two fractured musical souls meet amongst the perverse privilege of an English boarding school. Through rebellion, by forming a Rock band in the uniquely 'classical' musical environment they found themselves in, and by pursuing a life-long search for a lost autonomy, they take a mutual journey through tragedy, despair, hope, and hilarity to an eventual discovery of the consequences of a childhood stripped of the basic human emotional requirements of love, security, and a sense of identity. "e;My Reluctant Friend"e; is a captivating story about music, friendship, and growth - and all that comes with it.
