Where does hurt go when we ignore it?
Anger when it's pushed down and silenced?
Shame when it consumes us so much so that it becomes indistinguishable from ourselves?
Fresh off a near-fatal overdose and the death of his father, Thomas Go'Bay Middlecamp checks into rehab and swiftly learns that recovery requires redemption.
After rehab, Thom is forced to address old wounds while trying to re-establish trust with his iconic mother, Deborah, and heal the hurt between himself and his brother, Dewey.
When tension and shame mount and Thom is ready to give in, his cigar-smokin' boxingcoach, Frank, holds him to the commitments he makes and reminds him of his strength as Thom presses forward in life and becomes a husband and father.
Set against the backdrop of Austin, Texas, Ghosts of Lamar tackles the resilience of the human spirit and the grit demanded by earnest self-reflection through the trials that face Thom as he navigates his complex history with the city and its main artery: Lamar Boulevard.
