In 1970, Caleb's family hit the Hippie Trail from Amsterdam to India in search of nirvana and/or hash-- whatever came first. Caleb's disabled parents, Sam (a paraplegic professor who used a wheelchair) and Carol (a frustrated feminist with an undiagnosed bipolar disorder) dropped out of mainstream society to travel overland in a VW bus with three little kids. Caleb was the oldest at five. Sam and Carol promised the journey would be a great adventure. But familial unity was not something Caleb took for granted. He trusted his rock of a dad, but braced himself for Mom's swinging moods and sudden disappearances as their wild 20,000-mile ride took the family through Europe, the Canary Islands, Morocco, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to India. To cope with constant changes, Caleb transformed into Superfreak. He donned his Superman costume and summoned all his hippie-in-training bravery to survive a chaotic family life of abundant psychedelics and free love, cross-border drug smuggling and jail breaks, sages and charlatans. The Adventures of Superfreak is a family drama revealing the complexities of attachment and abandonment amid a period of tumultuous cultural change.
