The Demon of self-doubt visits us all, but it's living rent-free in Andy Maxwell's head. Loaded with chemicals, the baggage of a troubled past, and the fear of an uncertain future, Andy is lost and going nowhere fast.
His roommates, Ellen and Jeff, aren't faring much better. Finding purpose or happiness is hard enough under normal circumstances. Living in a self-made circus of debauchery doesn't help.
As Andy tries to outrun his demons, unsavory characters and unlikely angels push and pull him toward a life-altering choice. This gritty, spiritual sojourn explores the weight of expectations, the pain of loss, the struggle of holding on, and the glory of letting go.
Staring at the Ceiling's 10th anniversary edition tightens the grip of the original's wild ride, presenting this hazy coming-of-age fever dream with a new ferocity and focus. Eight days in the soul-testing heat of a small southern town will pass in a blur, but can change a life forever.
