Steven Davis tells a wild coming-of-age story of growing up with a father experiencing a mid-life crisis during the tumultuous early 1970's. The story is mainly set in the Sierra Madre Canyon, California, a magical place at the time. What makes the story remarkable is how fast his father, an ordained minister at the conservative Church of Christ, flipped from a steady husband, father, and leader in the church community to a man pushing the outer boundaries of the 60's/70's counterculture. His father, Charles Elton Davis, was a complicated man seeking to live fully while searching for enlightenment, meaning, and the best mind-expanding alternatives. Father and son experience many wild adventures together, eventually discovering joy and happiness on their own terms.
